Notes About The Poem

Written with "song titles" from the music at Woodstock.

Finding My Voice In Neverland - A Musicians Letter From Woodstock

“I'm ready to go anywhere
I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it”.....Quote by Bob Dylan


I AM A STRANGER HERE without you
I CAN'T EXPLAIN why
I walk through this RING OF FIRE
WHERE THE NIGHTIME IS THE RIGHT TIME-
when out of the darkness I SHALL BE RELEASED
from the uncertainty of my struggle

There are 500,000 souls here
with one voice of peace and love, and I…
am finding my voice in Neverland-
intensely running in the circles of my irreverence
to create the chords within the tunes…
my music - my rhythm – my soul
my words to change the world

Looking to my orator of this brotherhood
MR. TAMBOURINE MAN,
the designated ghost of my hope
hammering the jingling beat
that shackled my feet to follow
this haunting melody inside me
where I am the master of my freedom

But…
You are my song of songs,
YOU ARE AS GOOD AS YOU'VE BEEN TO THIS WORLD,
the hand I hold to walk in this light
lingering sweetly in the HIGH TIME
of my experimental chaos
that I so fiercely hold onto
within the bosom of my art
that rages ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER
of my soul

MY DARLING BE HOME SOON

Gary Radice June 29, 2024 at 8:13 AM So much thought has gone into this Lonna. It is so deserving of more comments. Janis, Mr Zimmerman, Mr Hendrix etc. They are all there. A golden period in time when the youth thought they could change the world. I like to think that to some extent they did. Cheers - Gary Lonna Blodgett July 6, 2024 at 4:27 PM Thanks Gary! I loved writing it and being nostalgic to those great times of my youth.
