 the gypsy poet

gypsy rider


i saw the gypsy rider
      he was saddled up and free
      his clothes were rags and riches
      his virtue was his honesty

      the caravan was set in sand
      his bandanna was tied tight
      his shoes were common courtesy
       he rode the dark dark nights

      somewhere in the distance
      an angel voice did sing
      must have been old Gabriel
      singing on the wing

      the stars they sang and sparkled
      their lights were heaven bound
      he rode the hills of destiny
      his footprints in the pound

      high up in the hills of consequence
      the ladies queued for love
      he offered them his romance
      sold them his love doves

      far from border countries
      they search and search in vain
      one was on the wagon
      the other on the late night mail train


      the sisters of enlightenment
      were lost and fancy free
      he offered them forgiveness
      then wrote a poem dedicated just for me

      the moon it shone its light then
      the heavens they did spin
      i saw the eyes of Isis
      blink and ask for sin

      the dragons of injustice
      cast their weary tales
      the song and dance man
      wrote a prayer for the widow at the well

      the gypsy rider rode onwards
      his story still to share
      he humbled all his burdens
      then said he didn't care

      the lights of infinity shone like crystal blues that night
      i walked another mile
      then bent down to lace my shoes
      you could see my smile
