But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think;
'Tis strange, the shortest letter which man uses
Instead of speech, may form a lasting link
Of ages; to what straits old Time reduces
Frail man, when paper - even a rag like this - ,
Survives himself, his tomb, and all that's his.
from Don Juan

DEDICATED TO BYRON- Double Sonnets--First dedication poem of series honoring great poets. (Sonnet 1) Upon Dawn's Beautiful Rise, I Was Born (Sonnet Number One) Do not my life's passing cause you to mourn. My years flew by as sweet as summer's breeze. For at dawn's beautiful rise, I was born underneath the tall and ancient oak trees. Mother Nature gave me breath, my heartbeat, soft like distant thunder in a quiet gale. Being blessed with mighty strength and fleet of feet I traveled fast past rivers, hill and dale, scattering each with magnificent seeds helped to and fro by water, hoe, and wind. They sprouted even in thickest thorny weeds and all the more in verse, I vow to send. Do not my life's passing cause you to mourn. For at dawn's beautiful rise, I was born. Robert J. Lindley, 1-12-2019 (Sonnet 2) She An Angel, Ravenous In My Sight (Sonnet Number Two)) Behold as shining frost on roses bright its glint, a gasping pleasure to mine eyes she an angel, ravenous in my sight tho' her countenance some deny. Dear blessing, that her power never dies its renewals, this earth needs all the more from its width, its canopy of blue skies one may seek fortune from its, shore to shore. Sweet those deep treasures her heart gives away her immense depths we too oft fail to see We in blindness let apathy hold sway as we pride ourselves, far greater than she. Behold as shining frost on roses bright. She an angel, ravenous in my sight. Robert J. Lindley, 1-12-2019 Sonnet (Number two) Note-- https://englishhistory.net/byron/ Lord Byron (1788-1824) – Key Facts, Life & Work Information A collection of resources dedicated to the second generation romantic poet, Lord Byron.

I would have replied sooner but my recent ill health has prevented that my dear friend. Your words are a prize, a boon, and a gift.* Kindness the very kind that so uplifts.* That your poetic spirit thinks to such send.* May oft help sad spirits to stir to mend* Surely God has given thy heart its poetic calling* To write, to help others, is thy true calling.* Truth, you are indeed a gem for this site, and I thank you for your support and constant kindness my dear friend.
