Broken

“Days oh day

Why oh whys

Today is a Broken feeling day”

Destroyed

Interrupted

Forever changed

Suffering emotional pain

Mississippi Delta Blues

Mississippi Delta Blues

Guitar pickers and foot stompers Flooorboards creak and moan Rocking chairs sway with rhythm Mississippi blues born and bred

Cicadas serenade evening breezes Toiling through muddy waters deep Mired in misery, heartache and despair Longing…
