"starry starry night
paint your palette blue and grey

swirling clouds in violet haze
reflect in vincent's eyes of china blue

now i think i know what you tried to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free

they would not listen
they're not listening still


perhaps they never will..." don mclean's sweet tribute to dear vincent...

vincent's heart speaks to me this enchanting autumn
he's sharing his magical energy over forty falls now
memories will never fade as they flow with infinite care

vincent's spirit lives on and i treasure his creative mind
i always understand his tortured soul and his young death
unfortunate that many still inflict their insanity on others

vincent's dreams will forever touch the lives of the lucky
i hope one day all will understand the tragedies of the mind
too often the world is quick to judge any with mental illness

vincent's portraits are like my lyrical leafy pals of sweet color
granting me surreal journeys to the most awesome otherworld
where everyone is sharing their precious gifts without condition
