Charles City Riverfront
“Walking over, walking under . . .”
… always looking up.
A permanent flowing
through broken memories,
this river life …
a fragile balance
stepping, stepping, stepping
toward a resurrection required
to live this river life.
Bank to bank,
forever reflecting the not forgotten,
a bridge flows over,
a river flows under,
and we
walking over, walking under …
in this river life
always looking up.”
~The Recovery, a poem on artist David Williamson’s sculpture “Revival” in Charles City, Iowa’s Victor Park
