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…
