Death of a Magician

Death of a Magician

By Mark Stitz


That night in November I’ll always remember, when my good friend was called home,His soul said goodbye, as he went to the sky, and about him I’ve written this poem.
A magical dude, never loud never rude, spreading laughter and joy where he went, an evening about was never without an awesome good time and well spent.
“C’mon pick a card, it’s really not hard”, but then it would disappear, and the people would shout, when he pulled it right out, of inside of, a bottle of beer.Then the card would be gone, with a wave of his wand, the crowd would go “Ooh” and go “Aaah” But they’d scream and shout, when he pulled it right out of the inside, of some woman’s bra!
He was a real gem, until his sad end, always spreading his magic and laughter.
To me he was Brother, but they needed another, Magician, up in the hereafter…

Miss you and Love You Brother, Never Forget!

That night in November I'll always remember
when my good friend was called home,
his soul said goodbye as he went to the sky
and about him I've written this poem.

Good morning Mark, ever thought of putting this write stanza style ?
For me, anyway, makes it a far easier read and aesthetically more pleasing. What you ya think ????
Nonetheless a good read and final memorial to your chum.

I think originally I may have thought about it, but I wanted it to be as much of a small story, as much as a poem. And I was kind of in a zone, when I wrote it, that, and I dislike editing. So there's all the reasons. But I'm glad you took the time to read. Thanks.

It's good of you to memorialize him like this. Now, thanks to these words, we can all appreciate who he was and miss him.

Thank you Samuel...My words are meager to describe a guy who's legacy was to bring laughter to literally
thousands of people over the years. Thanks for reading.

Mark, it is obvious the feelings you had for your magician friend were real...and that you will miss him. I am sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing to you and may he do card tricks between the pages of the scrapbook of your memory forevermore. This tribute is heartfelt. LydI**

Thanks Lydi...
He was a great friend who I never saw raise his voice in anger and always had a smile. Not only is he missd by me, his wife and friends, but by anyone who ever got to know him. His legacy was that he left a good memory with all. Thanks for your kind words!.....Mark
