A gift of a poem

We received this poem, hand typed by a poet at the Farmer's Market during our trip to HONK TX, was a gift from our fabulous host.

down by the riverside

spit flow through polished brass

diggin' through the muddy bank

I found justice

didn't need no sound

couldn't nobody be found down here

before the sweet trill of notes

there was me

I imagined the way to peace

sunshine

I need to hitch a ride

wanna go home

missin' the music of my people

'cause your love is ample compensation

fillin' bellies like hungry minds

fully intendin' world reconciliation

by the mouth of the river

a road it grew

waves of melodies

carryin' me to you for Rumble Arkestra
love April
