Between Something & Nothing

Words that form a sentence


Words that form a phrase


In a poem or a letter


Could not convey the meaning


Of what this man has done


In a painting on a canvas





And as the colors fading


They dictate my mood


Can you see me?


Are you near me?


I find myself on canvas


I find myself on stage


Can you see me?


Are you near me?





And I long to know you're real


And I long for you to be a part of me


I long to know you're real


And I long for you to be a part of me





And in the fading twilight


I sit & stare at her


In all her beauty


Her beauty


You know I have to wonder


Why all great men must die


And leave their treasure


They leave their treasure
