'everybody Knows' the Illustrious Lc

'Dress Rehearsal Rag'
of humble beginnings,
'Who by Fire'
melodic intrigue,
'Nevermind'
 a gravelly 
  reckoned voice,
'Everybody Knows'
his razor sharp witted
comic relief in
self-deprecation,
he knew it was
'Closing Time,
shared his last
sentiments,
 'You Want it Darker' 
with all those in loving
accordance relishing
his masterful talents,
poetry, music &
stories intertwined 
'tween the life
and death of the
Greatest Artist 
of the Highest Caliber,
our Beloved
dearly departed
one & only
Leonard Cohen

Harking 'Hallelujahs' with angels, 
               'dancing to end of Love'

'Coming Back to You'
 in spirited reminders,

      'heard that my body was free'

notably 'Take This Waltz' evermore

'one of us cannot be wrong'

'Hey, that's no way to say,
             goodbye...'
