Leonard Cohen, my favourite poet. There's so much in this poem. To me his poems are like no other. In truth Mr Cohen will never lose his voice. Never.

Guess you always knew................YES, indeed, I always knew that YOU are the best songwriter I have known, even Dyllan can't compete, but now I am talking to tow dead poets, how so? That is because of the coronavirus pandemic! Have I become mad? of course NOT! But I have become a tiny bit more artistic, being a fan of Leonard Cohen.Short but your innervouice is always beautiful, Leonard! R.I.P. CONGRATULATIONS TheModern

Cohen may have passed but his voice and vision will live on, a voice such as his defies the touch of death.

This appeals to me, although it is slightly obscure. Cohen knew New York, and the Chelsea Hotel, very well. It would be as good a place as any to lose your voice and never hear it again.

Such voices don't go anywhere. They keep coming back again and again to enlighten people who are lost in the urban wilderness.

I know him too well, I have known him too finest, I knew him so true. Gone to ashes now, but I still hear him in the songs that oft inspired me to tears, his voice is unforgettable, his words undescribable like zhen, like then in NY City. CONGRATULATIONS to the loved family of Leonard Cohen is the zhen...............................of Music and Word

Lucky you at least you had a voice unlike the millions of voiceless plebs that no one ever hears.
