Thinking about Leonard (Cohen)

A poem about Leonard Cohen from the Rumbles from the Grinder series

Why were you not immortal, Leonard?
Why did you have to die?
I am still crying, Leonard,
Cannot fathom where you are

Why did you have to leave, Leonard?
You were my poetic North Star
I am still crying, Leonard
Cannot fathom where you are

I owe you my life’s most beautiful moment, Leonard
Holding my husband’s heart
While listening to your music, Leonard
You were my poetic North Star

I am still crying, Leonard
Cannot fathom where you are
But you are immortal, Leonard
You live in 60 million hearts

N.B.: If you enjoyed that poem
