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. .

Very wise words, I agree. Especially these lines:

It seems we never get enough
attention from all our friends
We seek to play, everyday
in the vain hope it never ends

Friendship is one of lifes true joys. Your friend who pasted on was and still lucky to have you as a friend

[KAOlmsted]

This is a moving tribute to your friend, Tate...I'm so sorry for your loss. The song is poignant, but it distracted me a little from the words ;-)

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

Moving piece, very honest relatable. My fave;

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

Thanks for sharing this lovely and moving piece.

[Little Whisper]

The title alone got hold of me... and the rest ...well... I appreciate each and every mystery.

The deeper the friendship the deeper the pain...the price of love in our circle of core people is high. This is a great reminder never to take those times for granted, the sudden changes are all the more terrible when we are deprived of more preparatory closures. Great work Tate.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Just another excellent composition. I salute you for writing this piece for your friend who's now in heaven.
Your writings will always be my inspiration. Thanks for another good share.

[An Ordinary Woman]

Though I know well, he’s not in hell

I think I’ll let the mystery be.

Very nice write Mr. Tate. So many mysteries in life, so many of them painful. Your words offer certain guidance, very good.

Hope your Friend Rests In Peace..I'm sure he'll read this with a smile on his face. While words may never heal the hurt, but the memory of true friendship sweetens the pain. Great write!
