Rendezvous'

Rendezvous'

If the callous fingers of stolid silence could but stir me 
To rise with the bright radiant ever-changing flight of moon
And await new birth of sea fairies dancing to Neptune's wake
Wherein the majestic blue sea cries out mightily to flee.

Robert J. Lindley. April 2nd 1971

These four lines, written at a very young age, go to prove that you were born with writing flowing through your veins, Robert. It's understandable that you can't live without your muse! ~ Regards // paul

Thank you, my friend. This was composed back in 1971 when I was but 19 years old. I went into the attic yesterday and found an old group of my poems. They were inside and old photo album. God bless..
