Proud Mary
From deep in the current it comes out of the river…
the Mississippi
the Mersey
Blue Danube
and Nile
The music living in the spirit of its flow…
the Blues
the Classics
the Tribal
and Jazz
Its waters a baptism for the wandering soul…
listening
searching
hoping
and praying
Finding ourselves in the rhythm of its passing…
heartened
enlightened
rebirthed
and set free
(Cairo Illinois: September, 2007)
