Breath of lives
John Clare Stokes
They say the Suwannee is a living entity
That if you stand silent and listen
You can hear the respirations
Faint as a wisp at times
Breathless gasping loud at others
When I stand in the places others stood
I sense the river continues their breathing
Keeping the memory of their lives alive
And I exhale slowly and the river
Takes my breath.
Judy Hancock by Suwannee
