The art of Jeffrey K. Bedrick

A gypsy woman searches for a quiet hidden place
A meadow cool, with babbling brook
A tree to shade her face
A place where time exists no more
Where love and hope abound
What she has lost in former times
In that place will be found...

The search could last forever, far beyond this mortal plane
But dreams are what has held her
Also helped to keep her sane
And when the pain of truth cuts deep
So deep she falls apart
A need is borne, to search for peace
to heal her shattered heart...

A gypsy-woman, lost in time, will search her lifetime through
To find the place she knows exists
It's there within mind's view
And as I spin this tale of rhyme
A part of me takes flight
To search the regions of my thoughts
within my darkest nights...


Accept these small gifts from my gypsy soul, and let the magik happen!  ~~S~~

I've already voted for this but, as I'm not sure why you posted it in here, I'll assume there's no harm in voting again.  You already know how I feel about this piece.  If this doesn't make it into Reflections then there is something horribly wrong with every one of us.

I seem to recall your pen has found inspiration from a gypsy muse before.
Lovely surreal imagery here.
Good to read you again Sunny.
Well done.

This poem has a flow, a tone, a style and a theme for all: it will resonate with those who accept the challenge to search and will inspire those who need to start on that journey. I found, also, that it started up fresh melodies in my musical spirit through the attractive form and the simplicity mixed with elegance which adorns it. I'll look forward to reading it again in the anthology.
