A Starry Night
Composing thoughtful song about Van Goghstrikes the soul how with strokes of his brush (bright
with suffering he knew) he used life to show
fields of wheat; countrysides; a starry night
(in brilliant color); comets; light effects;
and galaxies! But genius took its time.
Opposed to novelty, without perfect
sense, peers decried Van Gogh's pioneering prime.
Still, beauty poured out from his tortured mind,
which bled and perished to incarnate art.
To Van Gogh's brilliance, the world has enshrined
and blessed the spirit of his enormous heart!
Hence, his quintessence haunts our lives today,
a Zeitgeist, ghost, which never fades away.
