Gypsy in her Soul Cool sand beckonedat day’s endWalking barefootalong the shoreMuch needed,for her heart to mend Breeze in her hairFree as the birdsThoughts releasedup to the skyMind calmingNo need for words She paddledIn the watery poolsas Sandpipers chasedaway from the flowThe beach in the fading lighttwinkled like precious jewels Walking off the painas darkness fellThe gypsy inContinue reading “Gypsy in her Soul”

Space to Breathe
Space to Breathe Weary as your scapegoatI search for a sanctuaryNeeding solace to healmy thoughts, now fragmentaryA place where I may weepwith no fear of scornHaving lost self-respectand for that I mourn Stillness and peacecomfort me hereBeing lost in the stillnessnot missing the fearMy thoughts uninterruptedbringing needed serenityFinding myself againafter losing identity A small havenwhere no oneContinue reading “Space to Breathe”
