Vincent van Gogh replies to Don McLean's 'Starry starry night'

Vincent van Gogh replies to Don McLean's 'Starry starry night'

Starry starry night 
Words of beauty 
Pinks and grey 
Sung by sparrows 
Blue as day 
In melody so sweet 
Beneath the light,  
Across this land you sing 
Summer swirls amidst the pain 
Until you found a way to sing again

And now I understand 
Why you wrote this song for me
How you saw what was inside of me
In these words you set me free
Like the ghosts inside
 that cry and 
I did not know how 
I did not know why 
You felt this way 
for me...
 
Starry starry night 
Reds and blues
Inside you play 
Strings upon a
living day 
Cast upon God's light for us to see
Light within me, 
Bristles grey and tired lives
Don you bring me merry lines
Upon which to breathe and start again 

And now I understand 
Why you wrote this song for me 
Your voice did set me free....
 
Starry starry night 
Words of beauty 
Pinks and grey 
Sung by sparrows 
Blue as day 
In melody so sweet 
beneath the light 

Footnote 

This was a challenge to 
write, the song is so beautiful 
it's difficult to reply; 
forgive me 
Vincent and Don!! 
Luv  :) Jai
