He always gave me lots of support, one of my first followers, although he never followed me- but he came by every single day. And his vision of poetry meant a lot to me, because he is not fond of poetry at all, as so do so many people, but for some reason I don’t know- or I do-he liked it and even gave me an award for 'Featured Blog of the Week' last September, which meant to me.. oh my- only He knows..
My Knight, as I used to call him, rests now in peace after fighting against what this material life brings to our bodies as we get to our end…And for that reason I feel obliged to dedicate this poem to him. A 55- which he was so good at.
RIP my Knight.

Knight
No matter how hard
You fight
Against death or life
The former
Will always strike
Thus, we sigh
No matter
South or north
The winds
Knight
No matter how far
You get
Or high
Where you ,ve gone
We’ll all get to
One day
Or night
Not worth the fight
It all ends
That bright!

Dulce, you have done John proud--and yourself as well, in such a memory of his special friendship with you.
A beautiful "55"...Dr John is SMILING...somewhere!

It all ends

Bello homenaje, hoy me he encontrado con muchas despedidas en varios blogs.
Besos:)
I love your poem for your friend - especially the ending!
great tribute indeed; i'm sorry to hear of the circumstances though
What a beautiful tribute to a fallen knight. Well done!
Fitting and so good. Dr. John would be proud. My 55 is HERE . Come see what's up.
What a wonderful tribute my friend. Well done to an wonderful man and a dear friend to many many people. :)
He read this, I know he did. He smiled for you- as ever.
Namaste.

Dr. John touched each of us in very profound ways. In that sense, he will always live in.
Touching and beautiful!
I know how you feel. He featured me, too, and left me feeling so honored. I miss him.
The 55 I posted today isn't actually about him at all. He was far more up-beat and forward looking. Still, it seemed appropriate.
this ia really nice...a really nice tribute.
Una vez más, te superate Dulce. Mi querida maestra poeta!! Un besazo!!!!!
That's a wonderful tribute, and pic is so atmospheric.
And Your Knight is smiling down at you, now, Dulce! He is smiling...

Beautiful indeed.
Here's my 55.
Moving post and a wonderful tribute to your friend, the Knight. Que descanse en paz.
Dulce...
You take my breath away...
Fabulous 55.
I cherish everything you post.
And every comment you leave me.
Thank You...G-Daddy
A beautiful tribute to our dear friend Dr. John Dulce. We will all miss him so much.
I think he knows what you wrote about him and he really appreciates it. Great tribute.
that is a great tribute
Very sweetly said. I think Dr. John was such a gentle influence on all of us that surely God is letting him get a peek at all the blogging tributes to him.
Hi Dulce, A very apt tribute for Dr. John, it suits him perfectly.
Thank you for your very kind words on my blog, they were a lovely surprise and thanks to G-Man it's nice to meet you too! :)
