From the dark side comes a light

It lands like a butterfly

on the vase which holds

the white rose of the night.

The morning flutters.

The sunlight wavers

behind the hill.

The gypsy spirit wakes up, stirs

the curtains on the door of the tent.

On and on the gypsy travels

to follow the moon

clashing in the lake with the spark of stars.

On and on the gypsy travelled to find out what every woman wants.

The gypsy traveled through lands of ice where women would not part their frozen lips.

On and on the gypsy traveled through wastelands and towns where all that a woman wished was the next meal for the sleeping child.

Passion, power, money,

Beauty, youth, fame,

long life, children and love;

these are the things

that make the stuff of women's dreams.

The gypsy spirit woke up and cast a look

at the light that landed on the vase

which still carried the white rose

sleeping in the light of the dawn.
