a gypsy in my dream

by

Dina Dinsmoor

I saw
I was
a gypsy in my dream
explaining to myself
some things I must have seen
The lady to the west
was dressed in tattered clothes
she had a son, a daughter
and a man she barely knows
She holds a little crystal ball
and she passes it it to me
now if you are to hold it dear
please hold it carefully
a southern lady dances fury
throws passion to the wind
an old wise northern woman sighs
thinking what might have been
Now turning to the east I find
a modern lady there
with eyes any color
and any color hair
A child I have been attending for her
now appears to my side
Her once unruly mother
fights piercingly for her pride
I see her life is mended
A good warm watered home and kind
I return her young daughter back to her
feeling safe my young charge
will continue to shine
And in a shawl am I in the glass
and dresses of color and of class
the girl to the south drowned in water
the woman to the north sighing her last
I saw
I was
four gypsys in this dream
and each gave me a puzzle
some things they must have seen
