Some writers are like comets,
A flash, and soon gone;
Some that burned brightest,
Are rocks that don't burn long.
Some writers are like meteors,
Burning hot through spheres;
As meteorites they stay with us,
Though brighter in younger years.
One writer, Leonard Cohen,
No brighter light revealed;
Still yearning for the fire,
Still burning all these years.
A flash, and soon gone;
Some that burned brightest,
Are rocks that don't burn long.
Some writers are like meteors,
Burning hot through spheres;
As meteorites they stay with us,
Though brighter in younger years.
One writer, Leonard Cohen,
No brighter light revealed;
Still yearning for the fire,
Still burning all these years.
Leonard Cohen: Canadian novelist, poet, singer, song writer, etc. Just released another CD. His likes don't come around our world too often. Get to know his work. He tours too. I've seen him four times over the past forty years. Hope to see him again soon. Oh, he turned 80 this year.
