The day Leonard Cohen died
When the news came flooding through
My mind went back to younger days
When his words to me were new
I had An unrequited love
And my days were sweet with pain
He became my true companion
And the lonely nights were slain
He sang me through my longing
He sang me through this game
The one where love is sorrow
The one where love is flame
I was looking for some comfort
And his music was the key
I found another landscape
And I sailed a deeper sea
I found another highway
Something different than before
I entered in another realm
And Leonard Cohen held the door
And Leonard Cohen Held The Door

Your lines are very meaningful poetry, Stuart.
Many a Cohenaut has sailed with you.

Stuart,
Very nicely done. I feel the same way.
Many many many sad & lonely nights were spent with Leonard.
Through the years Iv been one of the more lucky ones that has had the loneliness & sadness lightened.

Sweetly found.
