"Still I wonder if I passed some time ago
As a bird, or a stream, or a tree?
To mount up high you first must sink down low
Like the changeable tides of the
Caesars and Pharoahs, prophets and heroes,
Poets and hobos, before me and after me all the
Painters and dancers, mountainside chancers,
Merchants and gamblers, bankers and ramblers,
Winners and losers, angels and boozers,
Beatles and Bolans, raindrops and oceans,
Kings, pawns and deacons, fainthearts and beacons,
Caesars and Pharoahs..."

When the last ship sails"

*Many thanks to  Langston for his insightful words and the beautiful art of Ashley Bryan
which helped inspire this mornings offering. I believe you
and your children would enjoy this collection.
Please check out more of his work including the very relevant
Let America Be America Again 

Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.

 and was completely floored by Then Play On. 
His songs, tone, timing, phrasing and vocals -  
a musicians bluesman.
