MISSISSIPPI by Patricia Neely-Dorsey





MISSISSIPPI

In the heart of Dixie,
 
Perfumed by
 
The sweet, fragrant smell of magnolias
 
and serenaded with
 
The melodious songs of the mockingbird,
 
Lies a true Queen of the South.
 
Her name is Mississippi .
 
I don’t know how to explain this place,
 
Except to say that she “speaks” to me.
 
The rocks, the flowers, the birds and trees
 
Speak to me.
 
They sometimes whisper,
 
And sometimes they shout;
 
But always they say,
 
“This is where you belong.”
