Patti Smith -Rocker and Poet

Dragon with words,
blazing poetic fire 
from the stage.
Deep meanings
of things unknown,
unknown meanings
of her deep night.
Voice wailing
solemn dark eyes,
glaring,
staring past the crowd
to envision
the road she traveled.
Unfortunate that she 
crashed so soon,
burning embers to ashes
blackening her soul,
scarring her
like track marks,
she never came back
the same.
The dragon with words,
was tamed.
