I am still alive

Some Gypsy poetry

                I am still alive

She told me, soldier, bleed no-more. What is done, is done. Like a Hemingway story. Twisted roads lead to our proper place.

I looked at the dark eyes Gypsy woman and I asked her. I am lost and do not know what I need. Once I sought death and today I seek the unknown.

A warm day on the Monterey Bay. I brought whiskey and tequila to the song of the Gypsies. I knew them well, always kind to me. They called me the Michigan Wildman. They found me a year ago, suicide boarding the Winter Pacific storms. They called me mad and invited me to join them.

Pretty Gypsy woman told me. Life is long and we shall fall and rise often. Taste the sweetness of love and taste the misery of the goodbye. Us, who love the sun and the moon, we know. New day, new night. Opportunity, just whisper to the dancing moon. I am still alive. You are our adopted Gypsy brother, never alone and we shall make our own decisions, good or bad?

I joined the Gypsy family often. They taught me how to dance with the sea, talk to the clouds and understand. New day, new chance to sing, dance and enjoy the new sun of the day.

New chouces and chances every day - we rise we fall we rise once more- accepting the ebb and flow - only it does know - the tides they come and they go, but letting go we come to know whats meant to be or not- its all about that perfect place in time- thats y i believe we need to set our spirit free and be what you feel to be- otherwise things that are meant might pass you by- i do believe its all set out and without a doubt the day will dawn where all will get thier turn for whatever we internally yearn??? Wonderful memories wonderful gypsies- some people have nothing good to say about them???🌹

Wow! This is so good, such a write here, Did you learn the dance of the sea?

[Coyote Poetry]

I did. I suicided boarded her three Winter storms. To dance with the ocean. Make us know. Nature is powerful and we are not. Thank you Brandie for reading and the comment.

Nature is very powerful, much more than us. People don't realize that. We just populate it and not a problem

Just as they have music videos. I would love to film you works John. Its not just that they are so visual; its because they are such moving portrayals of a time and a place and a feeling.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are very kind Ken. I will seek editor and publisher this year. Three stories, I must finish. I am working. Finding time is hard. I told people, all of us have a story to be told. Dear Ken, the stories, you have told and the stories you will tell. I look forward to them.

A story of how you were embraced in your loneliness by a gypsy family. They took you in and welcomed you as their own. Such kindness at our hour of need can not be forgotten. If only we all acted in this way. All good wishes

Many kind people in our world. My story Highway 80. After the war, I helped a young lady and I met many kind people willing to help a soldier and a woman. When be a better world, if we led with concern, kindness and we listen to each other. Thank you Chris for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.
