On a road, with a cypress tree

The sun and moon

In Auvers-sur-Oise

During the month of June,

Vincent shared the immense

Power of nature, its majesty

With us, through his life

Still remains a travesty

Of what could have been.

Swirling soft brush strokes create

The movement of the canvas,

A fascination that came too late.
