I didn’t realize until nearly too late
that he did like my company,
not to talk—as he was not
a talker—but simply to have me near,
to keep him company as he rocked in his chair.
Later, when mother died
I again missed my opportunity
to keep him company,
and to be there with him before he died.
I was too busy being self-important
and running my own business—which
would shortly go bust—but it was that time
in my life where I had yet to realize
what was really important.
Today it still haunts me
in my dreams, I dream of him.
He never comes in any mean
or scary way…he just comes to keep me company.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
