Nomadic Gaia


Poem Artwork

Gypsy


{her Roma ancestors killed in the Holocaust, their horses shot, and the wheels removed from their wagons.}


.


Campfire,
wagon,
bandanna,
hoop earring,
tambourine,
finger symbols,
(zils)
castagnets.


Her necklace
made from
Austro-Hungarian
coins.


No crystal ball,
tarot cards,
or
map of the
palm of a
hand.


A wheel-shaped
sixteen-spoke
symbol Chakra,
the Romani
flag.


Fatima dances
for women,


a spiritual
way
to commune
with
Mother Earth
(Gaia)


to feel
happy
in
our bodies,
souls,


and
celebrate
sisterhood.


Nomadic.


Is she
Gypsy
enough
for
you?

Ah, this so touches the "Juanita" within. I have always admired and honoured the gypsy in my soul...she is free, she is strong, she is wise. Thank you for sharing.

Sage , this is truly sensational. I love the important love that woman feel for one another . The real appreciation that is found in the feminine exchange! My sister taught that well, and in a sense i
have tried to simulate it in my male existance , but there just is nothing like a woman ever!!!!
I love this beautiful expression you've just written and It is inspiring me again!
Exceptional, outstanding and phenomenanl!

Peace and holy blessings to you!

She is all around us and has many names, no matter what name used at times she is too much for anyone! Excellent penning Sage!

Sage,

The tradition will continue; Gypsies are strong people who are used to overcoming adversity, I think. Excellent write--

People are strange in the way they attack the things they do not understand. Shooting horses and removing wheels will never keep a good gyspy down! The tradition lives on, as it should :-) Thank you for this offering.

WOW! I really like it!
How about you and me, dancing under the stars?
I'll save the night sky,
just for you. Expect a poem on that,
soon.

Oh Sage ... the Gypsy spirit is more than most can handle
but I would sure enjoy joining the dance.

Love & Light,
Joseph
