Click to hear Wisdom (in MP3, playing time 3:15),
a poem by Leonard Cohen (from The Energy of Slaves) composed and performed by Henning Franz
I know there's no such thing
........as hell or heaven
I know it's 1967
but are you sleeping have you slept
with any of my friends
It's not just something I want to know
it's the only thing I want to know
not about the mystery of God
not about myself
and am I the beautiful one
The only wisdom I want to have
is to know if I am
or if I am not alone in your love
From The Energy of Slaves, page 27
