Petal through the air
landing like scattered lives
through the fingers of my people
and their mangled cries
though we wander far to near
we can never find sanctuary
from life or from fear
And the petals blow into the wind
and scatter and shatter
like glass.

You where walking to the next town when you realized that you where lost. You couldn't find your way out of the forest you had somehow stumbled into. You look around, frightened that you may never get out. Then you see a rose bush. But not just any rose bush, but a Black Rose bush, quite a rare find indeed. You then feel tired as you pick a few of the precious flower. You suddenly awaken to find yourself lying down next to the road, not more than a quarter of a mile away from your next destination. Roses in hand, you stood up, and went on your merry way.

Seeky was kidnapped at age sixteen by a radical gypsy troupe. They took her "down-under" where the free monkeys laughed and the caged men cried. There, they descended upon unsuspecting strangers and danced for them until they wept, and the troupe stole the weeping strangers' items . The troupe was beautiful, as was Seeky's male captor. Kidnappings by gypsies often relate to the captee falling in love with the captor, and that is what happened in Seeky's case. She was falling into the abyss of forgotten lores and dreams.
However, one night, the troupe became the victims of their own thievery. They continued with their normal routine for a group of drunk men, but as Seeky went to grab her loot, the man awoken from his dazed and yelled to his fellow friends. The men arose and took our their swords, daggers, and knives. The troupe was killed, but Seeky was spared due to her young age. She was scarred forever as she tried to protect her loved one and got gashed in the eye.
She'll forever mourn for her captor.
