gypsy moon

fantasy poem

some nights

you will see her 

run to flight

run to her eternal

heavenly light

there she sits alone

on cliff

the waves do 

swell below in thunderous

waves of might

she sits so still

waits for the clouds to disappear

and takes off all her earthly gear

the midnight

moon

it shines so bright

on this sweet angel of the night

after dancing to her moon

up there

she puts back on her earthly wares

her hair so matted

in swirly curls

she puts on her adorning pearls

in each ear she pushes through

the turquoise blue the

gentle hue

twas yesterday he saw her here

he passed by once

and now hes here to gaze

at this unearthly creature

that God has made

she looks behind to see if she

leaves a remnant there of

anything to show in dawns new light

she passes by him in the bush

she knew he watches

her with his smoking light

she runs past him in a whirl

he tips his head

his smoke it curls

till tomorrow night she thinks

he'll wait all night for her she knows

she wont come back

his moon will be black

shell go somewhere else

in her gypsy van

to some far off forgotten land

she needs no man to study her

just  God and moon and tides that swell

so now she must find some far off

new hill 

and to that end she must surely dwell
