Poem -
Vincent Says Goodbye
Inspired By Jai Masters
I suffer for my sanity on this starry, starry night
For years have I used a brush, to set all mankind free
But they have gazed upon my works, and said
โThe man is crazy in his headโ
Iโve given them my life and soul
But these critics choose not to me extol
My heart cries for itโs love is spurned
My soul sobs for lessons learned
This last oil that I will paint today
Precedes my end with no restraint
For I needed you to hold me near
But I leave you now, allayed of fear

Interesting Larry, choosing to write this in the perspective of Mr. Van Goh, but I enjoyed this idea as do I admire art and what better artist and classic piece is Starry Night. Much love and peace to you fellow poet.
Hi Brother Poet Devon,
Thank you for your kind words. ย I' by trade, have been an art dealer for 45 years. ย Vincent Van Gogh has always interested me deeply. ย I have see several of his works in person at museums, and have read a lot about his life. ย Few people realize that his first calling was to be a priest, and the Catholic Church sent him to one of the poorest areas of France, where other postulates did not want to go. ย However, not only did he go there, but mesmerized its people. ย He also made several sketches of them, as is evidenced in his early works. ย Yet, after two years, when the church sent a couple of it's priests out there to judge his success, they said he was a failure. ย This could have had something to do with his fabulous creativity of drawing their subjects. ย Again, thanks for the compliment.
Peace and Love Brother,
