Let the Mystery Be

David Moore

   

It seems we never get enough

attention from all our friends

We seek to play, everyday

in the vain hope it never ends

 

As writers we are a vain bunch

never satisfied with ourselves

Making wonders, of life’s blunders

that will then sit upon our shelves

 

From each of the great poets here

we search for that kindly spirit

Seeking such proof, tempered by truth

In hopes we can stand to hear it

 

We all seek the purpose of life

through our friends we each spread our wings

With each letter, we get better

from that comes the joy writing brings

There will be a wonderful bar

for all the friends that we once knew

Where all will gather, tip our hats

for the poet whose heart was true

 

Friends will die and leave us alone

with those things of life we can’t see

Though I know well, he'll never tell

I think I’ll let the mystery be

Author's Note

David Moore the man who selflessly helped me publish my books and renewed my faith in Humanity passed away from cancer today. "You were a truly good soul David" This hurts, bad. I had so hoped for a different outcome for you. May we one day meet on the other side.
Goodnight my friend. .

Sorry for your loss. Writing about the loss of a friend is a good way to help get over the grief. I don't think that your friend is in hell. He would like this tribute to him. Nicely done.

This was wonderful. So much wisdom here, and you've expressed it with a refined and humble touch that is all your own... I like how you so acutely captured the needs and idiosyncrasies of writers in general. I was particularly admiring of this section:

through our friends we each spread our wings
With each letter, we get better
from that comes the joy writing brings

So true. You are a wise and gentle soul, Tate. I enjoyed this write very much.
