He walks alone in silence as the ghost in his mind wants to come alive Trees and wildflowers at his side, paralleling nature’s balance and symmetrical harmony, as the yellow faces and hollow bodies beam In his wake, he sees a picture painting, caressing his every step along the way Seas of yellow in his harbor peaking through Where docks of trees, like boats, line his thoughts, while the yellow faces of the sun excite He continues on this path With an eerie voice pointing toward the light, look not at a horizon but out past the trees where a silhouette spans in the forest mist, trees and wildflowers yearning for a home connie pachecho 2/15/25

I didn't enter. Since I knew Van Gogh suffered from acute mania, hence I came up with a ghost in his head. When I looked at the painting I see the second figure next to him. A rendering that looks to me as being undefined, an aberration, and transparent, like a ghost or possibly IMO a self-portrait of him walking with the second figure (ghost) and alter ego. I could be 1000 miles off but I just write what I think independent of what others think.
