Thank you Leonard and Jarkko for letting us know about this poem.
Maybe Leonard was invited to participate in this tribute concert last week in Madrid.
Morente, Lorca and Cohen have been the great protagonists of the evening

Hi,

What a homage to Morente. Thank you, Jarkko, for posting this.

The poem reflects qualities about Leonard Cohen as an artist and a man that are enviable.
Among them, a youthful passion/enthusiasm coupled with a rich depth of maturity and humility.
It is a beautiful tribute from one great artist about another.

Could be that Leonard Cohen
Has drawn from the Psalmist's well
In composing this homage
I want to say this
I don't want to

VERMEER FOR THE EAR!
This is pretty wonderful. You really have to read it out loud to get the full impact of the journey. I figured that if Leonard was so taken with Morente that I should know about him. Looked him up on YouTube and liked what I heard. Discovered he has a daughter (Estrella) that sings, and through the magic of search engine optimization analytics was presented with news of her upcoming concert in 2 weeks -- and she's singing less than a mile from my house. So I bought a ticket. Thanks, Jarkko!
