Off in the distance a songbird
raises notes that will float
over fields of soft timothy hay
waving under pale Monet-like skies;
and I let my mind wander
at the wonder of seas of corn and wheat
under darkest cobalt skies
filled with blackbird cries,
and try to imagine what the blank canvas felt
as you brushed it with passion and fury.

Oh, Vincent, if ever there was
an artist whose heart bled through,
it was you.

You paint rather well yourself.
Thanks for this.
You've delighted my evening.

Kacy,
Seems you have a bird theme going. Guess I'll ditch the camel!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
