Goddess Loves Rock and Roll

Goddess Loves Rock and Roll

I blunder as if blinded,
a blessed fool am I,
kin to drunks and little children,
caring for their fears,
lost in their shared insanity,
oblivious to our last chance,
a lost chance,
I can leave them behind
turn and cut through
the herd
to walk alone
last chance, lost chance
for calm sanity
yet how can I
be someone else not me,
there's me and . . . me,
a longing to be free
alone and content
at peace
and yet still
I stay
overlooked and overlooking
here
in a thundering crowd where
I am
lonely
carrying the news
a spark looking for
tinder
to flame
I am
looking for someone
to please
before
the darkness
falls.
