I forgot in a world of forgetting

I forgot in a world of forgetting
and lost my way
but You were always there
and You are here
always
always waiting patiently
like a good friend
in this traveler's heart
and your ever-present presence
gives substance to my existence
I awaken into You;
and without You
...does not exist..
My little poem above is a re-hash of Leonard's words below.
(II.50, Book of Mercy)

Leonard Cohen.I lost my way, I forgot to call on your name. The raw heart beat against the world, and the tears were for my lost victory. But you are here. You have always been here. The world is all forgetting, and the heart is a rage of directions, but your name unifies the heart, and the world is lifted into its place. Blessed is the one who waits in the traveller’s heart for his turning.
