Starry Nights - Mag 234

Starry Night by Alex Ruiz


Artist, in field 
stood, as if affixed.
About to devote, yield
himself to posterity. 

So alone, he mused...

Forever it seemed, I
lived in reality
only to at last "see"--
and this night--
faced the Universe...

Truth 

Great circles of reality
lived always nowhere else...
but within my soul, my self. 

While I'd been looking out,
yes, apart, away from--
Now I am a part OF 
all which ever created.

This scene I MUST show
to my brother Theo,
(named for "God" Who lives.)

("But HOW?"
 "Paint, man! PAINT!")

In manner described as Starry Night--
He oil-spread circularity Eternity,
ALL being such colorful ONE.

Beauty Unbelievable
for you and me akin
for truth within.

  10. steve - when i was in paris a few months ago i stood before this painting by van gogh - starry night - it is spell-binding - i couldn't take my eyes off it... actually i wanted to walk into it and just stay there... van gogh once said that for him the night has more color than the day... and after seeing that painting i knew what he meant... a bit of eternity for us to taste maybe...
