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
