The weather is warm and sweet out here in California. It makes me want to stay in bed for hours as soon as I open my eyes in the morning and feel the heat of the sun, it’s rays projected on the walls of my room and reflected in all the pretty little perfumes bottles on my nightstand like a kaleidoscope of dancing lights. There’s nothing more enjoyable than laziness… Although I haven’t been that much, so much is coming. And many surprises are awaiting. Coachella is around the corner you guys and I am very excited about that. With all of this being said, for today’s post, all I want to share with you is this beautiful poem by Leonard Cohen.
OUR LADY OF SOLITUDE
All summer long she touched me
She gathered in my soul
From many a thorn, from many thickets
Her fingers, like a weaver’s
Quick and cool
And the light came from her body
And the night went through her grace
All summer long she touched me
And I knew her, I knew her
Face to face
And her dress was blue and silver
And her words were few and small
She is the vessel of the whole wide world
Mistress, oh mistress, of us all
Dear Lady, Queen of Solitude
I thank you with my heart
for keeping me so close to thee
while so many, oh so many, stood apart
And the light came from her body
And the night went through her grace
All summer long she touched me
I knew her, I knew her
Face to face
