Poet's Tribute

(Dedication: For Freddie, aka Alfred Vassallo, RIP, dear departed prolific PoetrySoup poet.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At PoetrySoup, we each pen verse; Voice in a troupe as poets observe. Brief passage here where poetry speaks; Fond message cheers as muse funds peaks. At curtain call, each soul must leave; One last footfall for train stays brief. Our earthly days are numbered well; Each to end play at final spell. Gone from this site your touching lines; Here we recite verse strokes that sign. Freddie the man who wrote a lot; Your poems attend odd place and spot. Gone from this site, no words or lines; No verse to cite, none left behind. You journey home from dark to light; No more to roam through earthly nights. Free from all pains of mortal flesh; May you attain a brilliant flash. May joy and peace, fine grace delight; May love increase soul's sacred flight. May angels bring you to fond rest; Where love can sing sans mortal quest. Now Jan has seen your YouTube clip; Deep pains within on this earth trip. We come to see your words of pain; Rest now sweetly beyond these plains. Leon Enriquez 30 October 2014 Singapore
