That gypsy unseen opened her heart and for a moment thought she could fly but no wings appeared to lift her up into the sky of her only desire. She studied her wagon and how it swayed weighted down with her goods and chattels and how the power that pulled her along seemed no longer interested. Still she moved going nowhere slowly not ever stopping to look and to feel and made her way to the river bank intent on reaching the sea. She’s still there today camped in dismay and there within the pervading silence she asks for the strength to pray for those ever elusive wings. But the trees had nothing to say and the river still wends its way down to the sea beyond the reach of gypsies who cannot fly. Sad to say the tale ends that way but in the movement of rivers to sea you’ll hear the prayers of that gypsy unseen and you’ll know she’s stronger today! Helen / 15 June 2012 |

Maybe she wasn't meant to have wings. Maybe she has other talent. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

All spirits have wings, and this gypsy definately has spirit. She will have her flight. Very enjoyable read, this. I can feel the yearning. Michael |
