My heart is held together
By filaments of silken thread
Drawn from a comatose silkworm
Transformative rest in a mulberry bed.
My heart reposes in shifting sands
Cocooned in silky velvet threads
Awaiting the raggle-taggle gypsy oh
Transformative rest in a lover’s bed.
My heart was patched together
When your caravan came to my door
Such gentle love and understanding
Transformative, loved as never before.
My heart it sings with gladness
Kintsugi gold mended that’s for sure
Precious babe planted in shifting sand
Transformative, new life I do adore.
My heart aches - just a little
Memories of passion felt before
A winsome raggle-taggle gypsy oh
Transformative blessings we did explore.
