To the one named Cohen
I dedicate this poem.



In times of need
For many years
Your songs have spoken
To my tears

Your darkened voice
Veiled my being
Healed my heart
Till ready for seeing

You guided me through
Love and hate
When I could no longer
Relate

And as I grew
With song and word
I woke to find
You'd left the world

I thought you'd gone
For good an all
But then you jumped
Your spiritual wall
And landed on
Boogie street

Now your songs
Live in my smile
So let me take awhile
To say

Love bless you Leonard
For being where
No one else would dare
To be.


Many thanks
from
Elfra

That's a wonderful poem for Leonard, Elfra. I'm certain he would/will appreciate it. It also speaks to what he's been for me. I'm glad you took the time to write it.
