As we bid Byron farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Byron is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
