Aura Esmeralda Barbosa was born on 10th April, 2000 in Brazil. I belong to Gypsy community. I  did Masters in Mass communication and now I am pursuing PhD under an Ivy league University of America. Modelling is my professional career and I feel blessed that I am a brand ambassador of FMCG products, from perfumes of International sought after brands to jwellery, shoes, globally renowned fashion stores etc. And yes, I was inclined to literature since childhood and I began writing poems when I was just 9 yrs old. Despite my stiff modelling schedules, I find out time to pursue my passion for poetry. I had published an e-book " GYPSY BATH in 2022 and currently I am associated as the Founder Vice President of Global Writers Academy. I get infinite pleasure in reviewing poems of talented poets of the world who are members of our Academy.

MY WAKE UP CRY

In the still of the night,
my wake-up cry rises,
To pay attention to our certain destruction,
Man and Nature, in disturbing conflict,
The revolt echoes in all its splendor.

From the rivers once clean,
now polluted,
From the majestic trees,
now reduced,
The man, insatiable of his greed,
Keep the nature troubled in hope.

Echoes of machines and ceaseless explosions, Scatter into the atmosphere,
no brakes or limits,
Poisoning the air we breathe with sorrow Awakening revolt in every heart.

Nature, wise and generous in her being,
Give us shelter, food and so many pleasures,
But with every selfish blow we deliver,
Her cry grows and echoes, in an angry tone.
Devastated forests, polluted oceans,
Extinct animals, destroyed ecosystems,
Man ignores, follows his endless ambition,
While nature calls for a new destination.

It's time for an urgent change,
Of seeing what has been lost,
the missing wealth,
The siren today echoes through eternity,
And nature's rebellion cries for freedom.

Announcing the pain of an abused world, Awakening in each soul the duty engaged,
To preserve, protect, restore and love,
Before the final cry is too late.

Stop the weapons that destroy without reason, May man find harmony in action,
Understanding that we are part of this web,
And that nature is the echo of our own being.

My wake up cry echoes between the lines, Hoping to save the ruins,
Lets be the change so desired,
For the destruction of man,
nature screams indignant.

FREE AS THE WIND

In this vast world of letters,
poetry and magic,

The inspiration of the gypsy people
shines in harmony,
Free like the wind,
they come and go in tune,
They teach us the true art of joy

With her colorful dresses
and contemplative looks,
Gypsies dance the dance of life,
without obligations.

They carry the wisdom of many living,
Teaching us to appreciate
what is true and infinite.

They are masters at the art of adapting
to walking, Always ready for the road,
no limits or strings,
Follow the pulse of the stars
and the light of the full moon,
An example of courage,
daring and rare beauty.

Like fire that dances
in the palm of skillful hands,

Gypsies remind us that
we are free and versatile,
That we should not cling to outdated
conventions,

But to embrace the unknown
and explore the star trail.

Just like them, let's seek our own essence,
In every step taken in the journey of existence,
May we be guided by love and resilience,
Living fully, preserving our liveliness and fluidity.

May the example of the gypsies inspire
and motivate us,
Following our dreams,
leaving our hearts alive,
Let us be like them, free,
in deep ecstasy,
Spreading our colorful wings,
dancing through life with grace.

And so, follow our destiny like the gypsies,
Spreading affection,
intelligence and emotions.
Because in the art of life,
we are all sovereign,
And every step in freedom
is a true celebration.
