For we who dared to believe in the dreams of our forefathers.



on years,
on the dance of whispers.
where have we gone

when the merry pranksters
painted the soul
of a child to woman born
where dares she grow

from woodstock
she chanced to dream
but what did those
years, mean.

she thought they
would stay... forever.

but a child to woman grows
it’s all a body knows
and
it’s the stains
that paint
on one’s remains
as they ride the wind
sweet wind

and so,
still she rides
on tomorrow’s dreams
sweeter wind stitching
a woodstock witching
never...
and always free...

Woodstock and those idealistic notions have reverberated down through the decades since for those of us that remember how it was and how it is now. Still protesting. Still making small steps towards the ideal. It's been a long time coming and has a long time yet to go.

I watched Darius Rucker singing some of those anthems last night to a loving crowd. The spirit is alive and well.

The last two lines struck me, they say more than the whole of the poem, though I have memories of woodstock, when I too thought the future would be always free but has it really occurred, no, never...thoughtful write, sir, an enjoyment to read...-e-

Be Afraid. Beaveree Eh Frayed v6 by RickthePoetWarrior

From the land of the milked and honeyed here’s a few political faux pas and a bit of attitude exposed to the harsh light of a Canadian who actually has their own opinion.
