OCEAN GYPSY
Tried to take it all away
And learn her freedom just inside a day
And find her soul
To find their fears allayed
Tried to make her love their own
They took her love they left her there
They gave her nothing back
That she would want to own
Gold and silver rings and stones
Dances slowly of the moon
No-one else can know
She stands alone
Sleeping dreams will reach for her
She cannot say the words they need
She knows she's alone
And she is free
Chorus:Ocean gypsy of the moon
The sun has made a thousand nights
For you to hold
Ocean gypsy where are you
The shadows followed by the stars
Have turned to gold, turned to gold
Then she met a hollow soul
Filled him with her light
And was consoled she was the moon
And he, the sun was gold
Eyes were blinded with his light
The sun she gave
Reflected back the night
The moon was waning
Almost out of sight
Softly ocean gypsy calls
Silence holds the stars awhile
They smile sadly
For her where she falls
Just the time before the dawn
The sea is hushed
The ocean calls her
Day has taken her and now she's gone
No-one noticed when she died
Ocean gypsy shackled to the tide
The ebbing waves were turning
Spreading wide
Something gone within her eyes
Her fingers lifeless stroke the sand
Her battered soul was lost
She was abandoned
Silken threads like wings still shine
Winds take pleasure still make patterns
In her lovely hair
So dark and fine
Stands on high beneath the seas
Cries no more
Her tears have dried
Oceans weep for her the ocean sighs

After awhile you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts And presents aren't promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and eyes open with the grace of
a woman,Not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads
on today because tomorrows ground
Is too uncertain, and futures have a way
of falling down in mid-flight,
And after awhile you learn that even sunshine
burns If you get too much,
so you plant your garden and decorate your own
soul,Instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers,
And you learn that you really can endure,
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth,
And you learn and learn
With every good-bye you learn

Your Dosha is Kapha
Calm and grounded, you are not prone to mood swings or anger.
However, once you do get angry, it takes a lot to cool you down.
You tend to think a little slower than most people, but your logic is astounding.
Overall, you are very loyal and trustworthy. You're not scared of being who you really are.
With friends: You enjoy their company, but often listen more than talk
In love: You crave connection and affection. It's hard for you to be single.
To achieve more balance: Exercise vigorously (especially in the sun) and let go of attachments.
What's Your Dosha?
The Earth Pledge
I pledge to allegiance to Mother Earth,

One planet, One people, One Love...in Harmony,
With peace, happiness, and freedom for all.

Pablo Neruda's Poetry
FABLE OF THE MERMAID AND THE DRUNKS
All those men were there inside,
when she came in totally naked.They had been drinking: they began to spit.Newly come from the river, she knew nothing.She was a mermaid who had lost her way.The insults flowed down her gleaming flesh.Obscenities drowned her golden breasts.Not knowing tears, she did not weep tears.Not knowing clothes, she did not have clothes.They blackened her with burnt corks and cigarette stubs,and rolled around laughing on the tavern floor.She did not speak because she had no speech.Her eyes were the colour of distant love,her twin arms were made of white topaz.Her lips moved, silent, in a coral light,and suddenly she went out by that door.Entering the river she was cleaned,shining like a white stone in the rain,and without looking back she swam againswam towards emptiness, swam towards death.
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." - Arundhati Roy
