Such a beautiful building you once were
Host to many a party
Home to many a family
I must remind myself
Don't dwell on what has passed away
You were not all perfection
Host to many a tragedy
Home to many a sufferer
I must remind myself
There is a crack, a crack in everything
Disrupting the very foundation of existence
That's how the light gets in
Illuminating space for transformation
W3 Prompt #69: Wea’ve Written Weekly poet of the week Ange, prompts us to write a poem using two to three lines from Leonard Cohen’s (1934 – 2016) ‘Anthem’.
I chose:
“Don’t dwell on what has passed away…
There is a crack, a crack in everything…
That’s how the light gets in”

This is excellent, Jenn. Is it a real building or a fictional one?
Much love,

Thank you, David! Fictional – the photo is part of an old hotel, but I don’t have any connection to it.
