Down by the River

Carolyn CarlsonRené Aubry

"Inspired by the poem "River" by A.R.Ammons, this piece pays tribute to the whole power of Nature. It conjures up our respect and amazement at the miracle of the changing seasons, the alternation between the sun and the rain, the stillness and chaos, which impregnate the rhythm and vibrations of our lives."

Carolyn Carlson

River / A.R. Ammons

shall I

go down

to the deep river, to the moonwaters,

where the silver

willows are and the bay blossoms,

to the songs

of dark birds,

to the great wooded silence

of flowing

forever down the dark river

silvered at the moon-singing of hidden birds.
