My soul Still adolescent My body Aging rapidly My spirit Free When I allow it to be Unencumbered Still seeking harmony Quite simply I’m amazed Living preordained destiny Despite my numbered days Woodstock Forty years along Much more than an event To me A burning bush It taught me to express My deepest true essence To seek my music muse Artistic creativity Social disengagement “Establishment” distrusts Lore of vain protest Chills still dance along my spine When Hendrix serenades When Janis cries the blues When Alvin Lee Rips “I’m going home” Call it what you wish my friends Agree Or dismiss Three days of peace and music August 1969 Forever changed my being Set my heart afire And never forget Stay away from the brown acid Peace…….

Bill, this is an absolutely great write, and in so many ways I wish I would have taken that trip, but that is a reflection from years that have past too quickly. Nice work.

Cheers,
Dan
