A poem of art

Starry Night Vincent Van Gogh

By VJHDPublished 3 years ago 1 min read
Vincent Van Gogh Starry Night

A reprieve from the madness

As they saw fit to call it.

An asylum of patience

Under the moon and stars.

A mould that was made

He did not fit into well.

Was treated with kindness

In a place meant to heal.

Followed around in peace

To live out his clearer days.

Yet darkness of seizures

Kept him held at bay.

He was clear of the labels

Making strides in Freedoms.

Alas, a routine of expectation

Made way for imagination.

Looking on through yonder

A view from the tower

Made better with his mind.

A space to paint azure wonders

Of vibrant rolling hills asunder

Blended into a stark town.

The madness they called it-

Came back for its master.

Observing the world

Yet departing from view

He painted his visions

Of divine ethereal strokes.

He saw colour in darkness -

As the darkness saw him.

Words are the centre point of our existence. If we never write anything down, did we ever really exist at all?
