gypsy wind
in a wayward wind, I’ve lost my way
the raging tempest beats me
I’ve heard the wail of thunder’s song
& I’ve stolen the melody
the wilderness cries under gem stone skies
mountain’s crush & rivers wild
from broken bridges to desert sands
my spirit roams, beguiled
I’ve found no road that’s paved with gold
the wings of eagles own me
but nature’s great & precious heart
knows drifters & kings are lonely
what the wind demands, a woman perceives
the sum of all her fears
I’ve tasted sorrow she wears like the dew
grown drunk on her bitter tears
shameless, she pledged to my craven eyes
her naked flesh, & sinned
so like the dust is a lover’s justice
my heart blows with the wind…

I kind of envy you for finding such a beautiful guide to lead you through the wilderness. I doubt you'll ever be lost again with her at your side.

Beguiled roaming soul, entrapped by natures power, feminine vulnerability and yet the incredible rewards offered to those who risk plunging into those depths.
