Sage & Gypsy

Made in the shade of a weather-bent grave Fly like the flames in a cave of an old age Eye of the cliff side takes gaze at the blaze A world burning as it’s turning like a half-flipped page While the sage boils sage in attempt to re-engage The memories of centuries as they fade into the daze A gypsy drops spades, says that everything will change Now the grass blades sway like waves and the moon is strange Like a whisper before the war, a sigh before the slaughter Mothers escape into mountains with their arms around their daughters And the suns rise ready for the fight beside their fathers And the gypsy woman lied, a pretty penny paid For her to say that everything would change Yet it stayed the same (c) 2015
