There
is a gypsy inside of every woman…
I have devoted my life to helping women
release that free spirit within them that dances in the moonlight like a gypsy.
May this poem help you find and awaken the Gypsy
Woman in you, and set her free on wings of magic and grace, straight into your
life!

Gypsy Woman
Gypsy Woman sleeps outdoors
to be close to the wild call of
coyote and crow
who remind her to always hold hands
with freedom.
By night pure molecules of air laden
with stardust
blanket her dreams
She spins tin cans of trust into
golden opportunity
light and dark into effervescent
rainbows of inspiration,
Passion and purpose adorn each
adventure
to beckon her imagination.
She is a wisdom seeker in flowing
skirt
and a pocket full of intuition
that carries her across landscapes
and cultures,
down rivers and up mountains,
with tambourine on one hip and trust
on another.
She is a close friend of plant kin,
an ally of ancient ways
dancing naked under full moons
whole and holy across the days.
She makes love at any hour
and brews her magic in the night
and with bare feet she goes
spinning
earthly breath into rays of
light!
Gypsy woman! Gypsy woman!
Powerful is your stance!
Riding the tails of comets with a
body made to dance!
Gypsy woman! Gypsy woman!
Glorious are your wings!
Riding the crest of waves with a soul
that forever sings!
You twirl your dress as you spin
and the Gods come closer to peek
Oh Gypsy Woman, you are the freedom
each soul silently seeks.
Lover of life, wandering wayfarer,
fragrant gypsy moving to the beat of
tambourines,
at home you are in the forest,
dreaming in the desert,
visioning by the sea, wild hair
flowing on the breeze,
your heart is ever-free!
Moving from village to village
naked as the moon,
skin glistening in the sun,
some raise their eyebrows as you
pass
Beautiful woman come undone!
Your caravan is the Beloved,
your tribe spreads far and wide,
there is magic where you are
down double rainbows how you slide!
Go now to the shores of Avalon
or the mountain's mystic heights
loving every fearless moment, night
by starry night!
