Between Something and Nothing

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
