Nomads harvesting wildflowers
The edge of a forgotten gravel road.
Sweeping strands of quilted opportunity
Cherishing their allegiance to the wind.
Wayfaring the stars
Daylight children
A rose dressed in thorns.
Roaming abandoned fields of peace
Sleeping in blankets of solace.
Lasso the rabbits for dinner
Soak up the rain for midnight
These gypsy dancers sing their life away
Just to love you the way you need.
