Gypsy Dreams Poem by julie kops

The gypsy dreams in amethyst
And dances under sapphire skies
If only just for a moments peace
Behind her weary eyes

She loses all she's come to loathe
About her truly broken heart
In a kaleidoscope of frantic dance
Hoping to outrun all the broken parts

Sometimes she wishes she could scream
Under heaven's lonely embrace
She sings to the stars in chaos
Hoping to find her place

She wishes she could see herself
Through rose colored glasses
Could forgive the broken and lost
As all that she's dreamed passes

Forgive her if the dance is wild
and often hard to control
For it beats from deep inside her
From a bruised and wounded soul

Maybe it was just a dream untamed
A prayer for inner peace
Maybe the stars will find her there
And her emptiness release

or maybe the dance will carry her
Far away from her broken whole
Sing her lonely heart to peace
And finally free her wild soul
