Gypsy's Bedtime

by ccg

The crushed night sky with foliage deep within it seems like a troubled place to sleep underneath A nomad's roof is bare and unseen with the wasted moon of every earth Why warily waste away the sweetened caress of each breeze? Wondering when we will wind up binding our hands around the trees Freckles on each cheek like stardust upon the brow of Zeus Sleep is a journey you will reach despite the torrid jungle of your mind The treasure that you are burying is a breath for each life you have been reincarnated into Who can say it is a fault to desire less when riches are a foolish goal? Around you lay a long-haired grass, your feet barely touch the ground You must think that the woman fears no predator To sleep so soundly while she roars
