Proud Mary (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

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)

 

 

Only The Shroud

 

The anguish of death

  is before and not after

Its portal one sided

—abandoning time

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2022)
