A Canvas Kissed by Stars

Made us love Vincent…

Van Gogh's Stary Night courtesy of canva.com

Constellation of stars
meet me in the night sky
as day turns off,
night turns on.
From millions of light-years away,
they wink and blink and twink at me…
Just like they winked and blinked
and twinked at Van Gogh.

Millions of light-years fell,
captured onto his canvas,
sprinkled into brush strokes.
Swirls of yellow, gold, midnight blue.

Vincent, you knew what to do
to let me feel your heart
kissed by distant stars that loved you
from afar, from a million light-years away —
too far to save you.
