Ode to Vincent van Gogh

By Eric Buechel

In fields of gold where sunflowers bloom, A restless spirit danced in the gloom, With brush

in hand and colors bright, He painted the world with fervent light.

The heavens swirled in a cosmic embrace, A canvas alive with a passionate grace, Whirls

of blue and bursts of gold, Tales of a heart that was brave yet bold.

In every stroke, a story unfolds, Of love and loss, of dreams untold, The cypress trees, like

shadows, stand, Guardians of a troubled land.

Bright sunflowers, with faces aglow, Reflecting the warmth of a heart's overflow, Yet behind

the color, a sorrow resides, In the depths of his soul, where darkness hides.

A life of passion, a tempest of pain, In the silence of night, he fought through the rain, Though

the world turned away, he painted his truth, A legacy forged from the fire of youth.

So here's to Vincent, whose vision remains, In galleries bright, where his spirit reigns, A

testament to the beauty he sought, In the heart of a painter, forever caught.
