This piece has a quiet, meditative strength to it—it feels less like a poem and more like a small spiritual reflection unfolding in layers.
What stands out first is how you bring together different voices—Willy, The Allman Brothers, and your own—and let them converse around a central idea: the soul’s independence. That line, “every subject’s soul is his own,” sets a powerful foundation. It speaks of freedom, not in rebellion, but in inner ownership.

The Allman Brothers are just classic. Love them and the lyrics in this one really rock – no pun intended.

They are Classic indeed… I have a little story about them… the lil beach house I used to rent on Anna Maria Island FL… back in the 80’s or early 90 the owner used to rent it out to them for a few weeks at a time… it was Gregg Allman… Allen Woody… Jaimoe Johanson… and one more… I forget which one… but my landlord said he had to go over many times late at night and tell them to quiet down… lol… but Dickie Betts… the guitarist… lived near there… and they were heavily connected to that area

Yep… same house… also do you know who Gunther Gabel-Williams is? He also rented the house often around the same time as Gregg Allman… Gunther would also bring a couple tigers with him… I have really cool story about an incident with the tigers I may write about one day… but all this was back in the 80’s and early 90’s… I stayed in the house from like 2o12-14
