A hundred sorrows under a single sail:
wind and waves , poles of the line of vision ,
birds sunk in the mist , and the mountain with them.
All the color of the south, still cold next to the skin .
Getting past this place, this autumn of the heart ,
one starts to know what hard traveling means.
The evening sun lingers a moment on the sandbar.
I turn my head with one long sigh.
(A Hundred Sorrows from the poetry of Zen , translated by J.P.S )
I want to love you now
I want to love you then
I want to love you never
And then begin again
(L.Cohen. Book of Longing )
the road
is too long
the sky
is too vast
the wandering
heart
is homeless
at last
(L.Cohen . Book of longing )
The sea so deep and blind
Where still the sun must set
And time itself unwind
O love , aren't you tired yet ?
( The Faith . L.Cohen )
O Crown of Light , O Darkened One ,
I never though we 'd meet
You kiss my lips, and then it's done :
I'm back on Boogie Street .
(Boogie Street , L. Cohen Book of Longing )
