To Joe Cocker© infinity
I hope and pray
He was lifted up to where he belongs
A voice and a man
That could bring tears
Dispel fears
Rock 500,000
Bring comfort when alone
He was a shimmering, whirling essence
A blues crooner with a rocking voice
He played that air guitar like it was attached to his hip
He harmonized with the best of them
A voice like fingers flying over a scratchy keyboard
Eyes closed
Contorting his head
Hair whipping the air
His essence in a trance
I see him
Imploring us
“Are you glad cause you’re on your own?”
If there is a heaven above
He was lifted there
With a little help from his friends
