Maybe now it's time to go and
Reread old Leonard Cohen
And pretend that you are Leonard
And forget that you are not
Find the verses that remind you
Of the things you left behind you
Of the that tunes that do not heal you
But instead just let you cry
Then you close the book and wonder
If you ever were a lover
Who could sing like Leonard Cohen
And could touch your lover's heart
But you know that all your poems
Are just palest shade of Cohen’s
This is just the way it’s written
In the book of love and art.

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

Quite awesome writing my friend 😊
I think I read this three times and loved it even more with each passing. Beautifully penned. The line 'Of the tunes that do not heal you But instead just let you cry' pulled at me. I love when a song does that for me. Wow, I just loved this one :)
Geesh....absolutely
Hi Vadim ~ I can so relate to this. "Sometimes what you leave out is as important as what you leave in." *I'm not certain if you are a 'Senior' but if so, please check out the VM Creator Chat (5.2.'3) It would be so meaningful to many 'Seniors' to have a link of our own; we all have our 'favorite' memories to tell!
