Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Bubby's Books

image courtesy of Magpie Tales
The books you left behind are mine to hold
I read your notes and hear you speak to me
You treasured them as some would treasure gold
They brought you to a place where you were free

From you I learned that in my words there's magic
That beauty can be conjured from the tragic
From you I learned the value of my mind
The greatest gift that you could leave behind
