Janis on the stage

A tribute

She sang it
in the hopes
that we would all understand.
Raspy and ragged
those notes poured forth
With emotions
Leaking and streaking
Down her cheeks.
She sent you
The chills deep within
Your achy bones.
She sang it
In hopes we'd all understand,
The love we hold
its made
To be given away
Not locked inside.
