Pebbles in a Jar

I met a man who lost his mind

in some lost place I had to find,

follow me the wise man said,

but he walked behind

L. Cohen

A pebble
I pick it up
Roll it around my fingers
Feel its weight
its story
she joins the others
one day
I'll set them free
maybe
I'll keep one

One of these
is not like the others

And I can't forget, I can't forget
I can't forget but I don't remember what


L. Cohen
