Thank You Vincent

The bravery of the brush, 										
the broadness of the stroke, 										
yet the fearlessness of the line,										
keeps it here through time.	
									
Colors, textures, contrasting strokes 									
bring to life my imagination, my senses, 								
my consciousness, my breath itself.									
A fusion into a magical constellation, 									
a universal heartbeat of infinite rhythm, 								
could this possibly come from										 
the madness of mental health.

An everlasting impression on canvas									 
which expels so many currents, 									
brings only pure joy to my soul.								
Vincent, through your torment 									
you have unlocked my fragmented being								 
so to become whole.

I want to thank you for your sacrifice, 								
bringing joy to me and so many others as well. 							
The calm you have brought me from your storm 							
a gift that forever will help soothe my spell.
