Ode To Judy Garland

she looked free as a bird in the sky of hollywood, a psychedlic drug that stole the vitality of her life a soul sapped by a luminuous talent milked dry like an old cow's udders her voice trailed an epitome of freedom sailing us over the rainbow to channels of sporadic euphoria yet when the news was finally out hollywood is no land of the Oz she was too pining for the heavens she gave us all these years her own? we found them sprinkled yellow, pink and red all over the floor so near yet so far for her reach the wizard of oz who has promised all the joys finally claimed her as his own somewhere over the rainbow we still hear her songs, and we know they are here to stay a star that was born shines as bright as ever Judy Garland is here to stay right in our heart the man that got away, have yourself a merry little Christmas meet me in St Louis
