A Visit With Vincent

by Paul Engelbrecht

 

As the paint dried
On the evening sky's
Tangerine …meringue…

…Delicious sunset;

Palatable to
Two lonely shapes,
Commensurate
In spiritual want,
Who amble the vivid
Countryside…

Bathed in raging color,

Leaving a wake
Of rolling dust…

Perhaps the dust
Of others,
Of antiquities time…
Who roamed,
Like them,
In search of meanings …blessed;

Talents ruled
Their ever effort…Thought?

They existed...
Dwelled beyond
Carnality…

In another world…
Strolling
The tree lined lane
In silence,

…As the dust settled...

To beauty.
