Inspired By the Simple Yet Tragic Act of Vincent Van Gogh

When the heart seeks understanding
When the heart shows true passion
Yet aware, taking the gift of caring
"with a dull ear"
In a distance
The blade glistened
as your package arrived on time
Say they "a madman to degree"
To lose thy hearing for thee!
Yet left behind
a masterpiece
"can you hear me"?

She screamed,
She weeped....

Thanks for mentioning Van Gogh in your write today, John R. ~I did something with it! :)
