A poem?
As the mist leaves no scar
On the dark green hill,
So my body leaves no scar
On you, nor ever will.
When wind and hawk encounter,
What remains to keep?
So you and I encounter,
Then turn, then fall to sleep.
As many nights endure
Without a moon or star,
So will we endure,
When one is gone and far.

@LadyGrace It's not mine.

That's quite alright. I appreciate the time you took to share it. Without that we could not have enjoyed it.

@LadyGrace It's from Leonard Cohen. The above who talks about how original rhyming scar with scar... needs to read up. The next verse was also focused on endure, in repetition, I wonder why?
@SW-User
That's interesting. Perhaps he placed emphasis again, to give us something to be sure and think about, to let it soak in. Usually that's why people repeat things. To make sure we get the point. That's my two cents anyway hahaha. Perhaps to impress upon us the importance of endurance and perseverance. I believe he is encouraging the reader to carry on and never give up, no matter what the circumstances or who is watching.

@LadyGrace I read it like a treatise to himself learning to let love in meeting someone.
