The amazing Ruthie Foster with a live version of "Travelin' Shoes." The song, also called Death Came a-knockin', is an old Negro Spiritual. I heard this one first on Penny Nash's blog, One Cannot Have Too Large a Party.

Saturday Haiku: Leaves Will Dance
when clouds pass
light pervades
the day
leaves will dance

Masterworks Series: In the Park
Three Sisters
Three sisters guard my dreams:
Constance, Hope, and Grace.
For years their presence
Has been my peace and joy.
In waking or sleeping
At every crucial moment
They guide my heart
As I make my way forward.
Constance never forgets
The path that leads us home.
Like the morning star
Her beacon shines from within.
Hope looks forward.
Though she sees no ending,
She has given life to my steps
At every uncertain turn.
Grace inspires and moves with ease.
Like a soothing wind
She offers assurance
That all shall be well.
Three sisters guard my dreams:
Constance, Hope, and Grace.
Without their presence,
How empty the world would be.
How empty the world would be.
~ CK
