lyrics

"My Mother's Spirit Speaks to Me"

My mother's spirit speaks to me,
Whispering of Eternity.
Framed birds of Asia,
Cherry blossoms,
Snows of Manitoba
Blowing into New Orleans'
Mississippi.

Valley of the Rogue and Shakespeare's Nights too,
Cock of a hip to Basie's beats
Twinkling smile both young and old,
Twists of the Black, fears of the Brown.
Oh, my mother, ashes now five years ago thrown
You tell like Dust nothing is past.
Light shines though sky.
Light shines through earth.
How good--how good--how good
You're here--you're here--you're here
With my new Haitian wife!
