[crysede]

Now that school's done I've been enjoying reading some of the stuff I didn't have time for during the term, like poetry. I came across this one by Leonard Cohen last night: I've seen it before and reading it again just reminded me how much I loved it. So I thought I'd share it with y'all, maybe some of you will like it as much as I do.

I had never heard of the guy, so didn't make much sense.
Now it does. Pretty groovy.
