Vincent

'...with quenchless canvasses of twisted fire' - Mervyn Peake Your vision was a beacon gracing us with golden sheen, your heart was dark and heavy with redemption rarely seen. You plumbed the incongruities of faithfulness and fear, you challenged life's inequities so often with a tear of sadness in your dream-dimm'd eyes and shades of anguish too, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

That song is a tear perker, Keith.:( I just listened to it on youtube.:(( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dipFMJckZOM It's also a slide show of his paintings (enjoyed it, but doesn't make me feel any happier) I think I would rather read your poetry, Keith! You have poetically summed up his 'who'. You're an amazing poet, Keith!! Best wishes, Love, Mikki

Don Mclean would be proud of this one. Loved the song. Empty Chairs was my favorite.
