Life as a gypsy

Life as a Gypsy

In an Indian family she was born

Yet of a miscellaneous ethos was she

Come together did the East and South and created the Gypsy.

A life of marvel and travel she survived for the gypsy was a phenomenon

Patriotic was she for years that were seven

 Rhythmic paces outlined her life, (So stagnant as it was)

A melodic matriarch, a performing descendant

 Nonetheless the vessel that buttressed her family

Would soon choose the path of another stream

The Gypsy’s voyage had commenced,

The vessel coxswaining her to the south,

However it was not the South as she had known it,

For this was the south of the globe

Her jubilant summers had grown into dry winters

However she established a perception for music,

Steered by the spirits of the nation’s ancient inhabitants

Nonetheless, the vessel that buttressed her family,

Would soon choose the path of another stream

Once more she was uprooted,

This time from her new-fangled home

To the foot of the upper part of her world

But it was not the north as she had known it,

For this was way over yonder

She was offered yet again her jubilant summers,

In the land of the Mayas, she grew into an artistic being,

Guided by the spirits of the nation’s ancient inhabitants,

Nonetheless, the vessel that buttressed her family,

Would soon choose its domestic stream
