The tune spread on the breeze It touched lives It shaped the future Each ear it touched Each mind it moulded Happiness wrought in its wake No one could deny its beauty It shone upon the world As a second sun to warm us We danced as a world Our feet moved to a new rhythm And we were reborn That was long ago now A beautiful fragile memory For that song left us And with the passing of the last note A bitter melancholy gripped us As a world we wept left in the dark again I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith |

Sometimes the tune fades with the thoughts of what was. ~*~ It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it. ~*~ |

That's pretty much how I feel about Woodstock Walter. Many of the rockers have already traversed over the final threshold leaving a lot of people hearing funerary dirges instead of Country Joe. Touch, but don't look |

Lamenting the 'day the music died' in 'American Pie' by Don McLean comes to mind also Jack. The tune was about what he was doing when he got the news Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Richie Valens died in a plane crash right around this time of year, though Walter's poetry may run a different, deeper allegorical course. You pen thought provoking poetry Walter that is always a pleasurable read. ...just bein' Bluesy |

Music can be a metaphor for so many things... or not. Either way this poem works wonderfully and speaks volumes! Lori  |

Goes all the way back to the senior Guthrie and maybe beyond that.We all had such high hopes,alas we were all naive,living in a mythical world like dreamers. jo perry |
