GYPSY HEART

Nada Braidic

Your weeping will not stop tonight,
you will dry your tears,
your thoughts will still chase each other
roaming in the dark,
be embraced by the stars
warm yourself by the fire.
But you are not a prisoner.
Sadness has encircled you,
it exhausted your heart,
for the breath of a night
it lasted.
Listen…
Now everything is distant,
All has passed.

This young author, born in Udine in 1970, belongs to a group of Harvati Rom that resides in the North-East of the Peninsula. She was placed first in the First International Artistic Competition “Amico Rom” (1994).
