Farewell, Youthful Days of Wading In Crystal Clear Streams

Farewell, Youthful Days Of Wading In Crystal Clear Streams Farewell, the coming dawn and its soft, golden glow born as infant fawn, a peaceful river in flow or a memory of life beneath crescent moon Refreshing breeze, shade's breath, simmering in hot June. Farewell, that dream, a glory yet to be unfurled Predawn vision of happiness in this sad world or true essence of love and its power to heal Lost soul, gifted again the joy a heart can feel. Farewell, those whispers of new promising delights found within romantic scenes on cool moonlit nights or lingering kiss, given within sweetest zeal infinite treasure once found, none can ever steal. Farewell, new discoveries of love, its powers. Farewell, remembered gems, those passionate fine hours. Robert J. Lindley, 3-10-2020 A new Sonnet, ( Composed as Tribute to poet, Alfred Noyes ) see my new blog on this amazing poet...

I want to again thank one and all that have read and commented on this tribute poem. Written to honor the amazing poet Alfred Noyes, it was a joy to compose, even if it posed such a difficult task to measure up to is intended goal. Yet one must do ones very best and pray that such may suffice.. God bless..

Thank you my friend. I am delighted that you found such merit in this new tribute poem. The affirmation of this piece being good enough to honor the amazing poet that it was composed in tribute to is indeed a godsend to this old poet. Certainly one I shall with sincere appreciation and so very deeply treasure! God bless...
