Gyspy Soul

Restless, roving soul needing, reaching, grasping aching, antsy, anxious impatient since birth my soul is a gypsy wandering the earth I delve the depths for spiritual solace, that place of rest- scouting rough terrain searching, probing, seeking habitats humane Empty hateful faces, “GOD-forsaken” spaces- this place is a wasteland breaking my heart humanity desecrated all falling apart Bohemian gypsy soul deviant, despised traversing the expanse between ‘what is’ and ‘what should be’ I long for an asylum a better place for me Desolate and downcast pitifully sad nomad feeling forgotten, abandoned- destined to roam but soul exiles aren’t forever HE will guide me safely home

Ahhh Rhona, this washes all over me. I felt as if you met my soul and shook it's hand and said it's okay, your not alone. The ache of being a gypsy soul. So authentically captured here. This made me Wow! Dear one, so beautifully done!

Thank you, Gabrielle! That is what I wished for my poem- that it would seek out "my people" & deliver that exact message... I am so glad that it found you!! ;)

Thank you so much! It's wonderful to know my words have touched a fellow hippie kindred spirit!

This went to my favorite list after I started to capture and show you what I liked about it, and I realized that I was capturing almost all of the words out of every verse. Why re-write such a perfect poem? I am a hippie soul, and feel exactly like this so much of the time, wondering where humanity has disappeared to, and when we'll get it back. I especially like these words: "searching, probing, seeking habitats humane". What a great poem, Rhona. Keep them coming!
