Later I've met other people
they had different ways of painting
some of them I preferred to yours
and I certainly much enjoyed their agreeable natures, for the difference
it was when the hail came down and we watched in awe
and I couldn't see your eyes and wondered if you've stopped exploring
it felt like losing a brother to the water in the local lake
to the life that was destined for him
we became people to tell about to others
with such wonderful ease
I still feel it in my fingers
