Streams and Dreams

"Streams and Dreams"


Myths and legends, roaming bands and wooded camps
Tambourines, violins, bangles, and gypsy jazz
Fortune-tellers, tribal thieves, and traveling tramps

Sparkles of silver-light
Sprinkles of rainbow-dust
And merry fairies on a festive night

Elemental siblings, pranksters hailed Luther and LulaBelle
Wear simple garments of leaves and flowers, flit and flutter
These two pucks, posed as stowaways, arrived to cast a spell

Sparkles of silver-light
Scenes of merriment
In a gypsy camp on a magical night

The glittered fae, known as dragonfly and firefly cousins,
Donned in ethereal essence and pockets filled with tricks,
Join a colorful caravan of wagons and gypsy fuss'ns

Sparkles of campfire-light
Stories, songs, and supper
On a gleeful summer's eve night

Ramoni People in Bohemian attire, rambling musicians,
A wandering race of fringed boots and bare-feet,
Celebrate in dance, while unaware of the tiny magicians

Sparkles of silver-light
Scarves and ribbons swirl
Frolicking faes on a festive night

Twins of the Hidden Nation from a Land of Enchantment
Shape-shift into guises of small animals, or creepy crawlies,
Intentions to infringe with pesky pranks in the encampment

Sparkles of silver-light
Sprays and mysterious mist
And merry sprites on a magical night

Famed Luther and LulaBelle share secrets in gypsy dreams
Their gossamer winged-whispers tickle jeweled ears,
As the resting rovers sleep alongside glinting streams
