...yearns to roam again. (Inspired by a Splasharama image)

** Image ID #1450342 Unavailable **


Looking out from this darkened room
through a thin veil of consciousness,
my gypsy soul recalls times past
and longs to venture once again--

yearns to soar into clear blue skies,
or cruise down the winding river
to distant places not yet seen,
just like so many times before.

Trapped inside a corrupted shell
of flesh and bone, my gypsy soul
screams in agony for release
from the tortures of this prison.

An angelโ€™s song eases tension,
allowing consciousness to drift
away like sand through my fingers,
and my gypsy soul soars again

on gossamer wings to golden
shores in a heavenly kingdom.
