She’s a gypsy in every way
Always moving

Never staying in any one place
Long enough
For one to get more than a glance

Her name?
I know of several

One to match each of her histories
Each history, suiting a purpose
Each purpose serving a need
Every need, needing a new name

And so, she goes...

She goes..

And so she flows, and flows   Wonderful use of a metaphor, could be many, many things here Ed!  I took it as a river, or ocean but to some she would be a woman I suppose, yes?

I know someone like that, in fact, several someones like that!  I believe we all have the souls of a gypsy, but some of us have the blood...I particularly enjoyed this write, my friend!  ~S~

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~

Gosh I love this...
She is indeed a free spirit.
I think many of us here have a bit of gypsy in our soul.
Excellemt write...

Hey Ed -- I think I know her...  How quickly the Tarantella became a mournful violin solo...  Despite the cold ashes, at least the campfire held warmth if but for a little while...

Okay so I gave this a second thought and I think it is definitely not a river, but it could have beene yanno.  So now I think it could be the spirit of a woman - do I get a second guess
