for VINCENT

only yesterday   I passed you
on your way    to Rest

I have come ALIVE
my SOUL exploded
upon canvasses
for all to see

and you   have finally died
and passed it   safely
for me    to carry on

yes   I was there
I know    INSANE

but I have come back
to set you    FREE
You can go    HOME now
to the Fields    and the SKY

we are ONE
we passed    in this LIFE
I will continue   your SPIRIT
in this   earthly body

together   one day

the daisies   will dance
upon graves   of ARTISTS
who can    never die
