MUSICAL THOUGHTS

Almighty God

Shaking

Moving

Grooving

He fills my thirsty soul

With toe tapping music

This morning’s fine example

Sly and his Stone Family

Woodstock magic moment

Day 2

1968

3:30am

Rhythmically seducing

The soiled Hippie Tribe

Half a million strong

United by a song

“I’m gonna add a little guitar”

“Make it easy to move your feet”

Synchronized soul rhythm

Rocking magic trance

They all got up to dance

Violet Sunglasses

Body heat Aura

“Way up on the hill this time ya'll”

“Wanna take you HIGHER"

“HIGHER”

Trumpets raised to boogie lips

Snapping off incredible concert grooves

Hip to chest moves

Peace sign salute

Nourishment

Life giving water

Feeds my minstrel roots

I am grateful…….

[SPINNING ON that dizzy ..]

What a time that must have been. I was too young for the first Woodstock and too old for the 2nd (was there really a second... a second try maybe) Woodstock was a concept, an idea and it grew and blossomed.... will never happen again..... I like your poem - it is an ode to our Almighty and his gift to us of music
