| ODE TO JUDY GARLAND |
| Loud, clear voice That slices through The thickness of silence To pierce your ears With vibrating jazz Rhythm Starry-eyed Judy Garland Talent beyond your Wildest dreams Power and music Inside a little girl Like a volcanoe ready to errupt To spill her melody Over the hills of Hollywood Lonlieness Eager to please Frances Plagued by a desire for love A lone rose Reaching for the sun's warmth And yet she sings Becomes Frances called Judy Judy Garland Forevermore a star |
