FLOW CHICKAHOMINY

Still water in the beaver pond
Songbirds tune to a trumpeter swan
Willow waves like a maestros wand
Ol’ Chickahominy sings her song
 
Big ol’ bullfrog singin’ bass
Cricket playin’ fiddle on the Queen Anne’s lace
White water weavin’ her melody
Flow Chichahominy
 
Crawdads dancin’ the dos-a-dos
Eagle cries like an Indian’s soul
Water from heaven set you free
Flow Chichahominy
 
Grandpa Beaver slaps his tail
Warms his babies of the coyotes wail
Coyotes singin’ in the key of C
Grey fox pickin’ up the harmony
 
Come on flow Chickahominy
To the river to the sea
Sweet water symphony
Flow Chickahominy

written 1998
