He ascends to the high places once again.
His dream...a reality in himself.
Free man.
He takes little with him.
His needs are not so much physical as spiritual.
He commands attention by way of his passion.
No one loves Her more than he, his ancient place.
The gypsy
Returning.
He never really left.
In Her the essence of life.
Each footfall a caress.
Each breath a communion.
Reborn.
Others have become restive
In foreign places.
But never him.
His blood sings of home.
His very bones carry Her song.
He is Tassaft.
He is Kabyle.
He is Amazigh.
Please tell me what you think

His blood sings of home.....
Powerful choice of words...powerful imaginative metaphor.
This tells so true of a love so strong, and tolerant to life's unconstant waves of doubt.....this was realy a breeze of hope.
I am not sure if I understood the last three definitions of he who walks with his strong love and dreams.
But I suppose they are names of lovers-strong-before him who took pride in loving for eternity..
Beautifuly breath-taking.
Be well.
RD.

Again I am humbled by your analysis.
Yes, this is speaking to a powerful love, love of a land, it's people, it's history. The last three "names" are : "Tassaft", the name of a village in Algeria, also a tree. This tree will not submit to force, but will break, but break and regrow elsewhere. "Kabyle", the name of a people-Berbers- of the High Atlas mountains in Algeria, a strong, hospitable, gracious people. And finally, "Amazigh"(pronounced AMAZEER), a word that means "Free Man" in Berber.
I hope this helps with the understanding of the piece. I suppose you can tell that I greatly admire this person, my friend. I am honored to know him, and honored that you have read my words so clearly. Peace be with you, Rhonda -

A free strong man
Standing erect as a tree against the hurricanes of hurt and loathiing, so strong that he clings to his passionate heart, and understands that truth will be his possession and gift for baring so long, and being on the side of the light.
Yes....I do understand.
Peace be with you too.

I think I could read the last stanza over and over again...though terse, sometimes the most beautiful expression is found in few words. That stanza-though it was reflected in the poem throughout-really brought forth the feel of a deep-seeded love, old as the earth herself. Lovely write.

A deep seated passion...
...lies within the souls of this man. I like the strong feeling of this, especially; He commands attention by way of his passion.
Thanks for sharing, Buddy -
