oh, Vincent

 

oh, Vincent

 

In the gallery's hush,

under the soft hum of lights,

I stood before the works of a man

who painted with his soul.

 

Swirls of color,

thick, impassioned strokes,

a night sky that danced

with stars like wild dreams.

 

Oh, Vincent, your pain echoes

through every canvas,

a silent cry

woven in hues of blue and gold.

 

The sunflowers, bright yet fragile,

speak of a longing,

a fleeting joy

caught in a moment of time.

 

Your self-portraits confront me,

eyes deep and hollow,

reflecting a world

that both welcomed and shunned you.

 

A lonely bedroom,

a cypress tree under a turbulent sky,

fields of wheat whispering

secrets to the wind.

 

Each painting a testament,

a window into a mind

that saw beauty in torment,

grace in despair.

 

Today, as I stand

before your legacy,

the weight of your sorrow

still lingers in the air.

 

Your art remains,

a bridge between the past and present,

a reminder that even in suffering,

there is a profound beauty.

The End of Infinity

 The End of Infinity The first hit was a ripple—a vibration spreading through my body and mind. The second hit broke the illusion of the room around me. By the third, I felt myself dissolve entirely, my sense of self slipping through the cracks of reality. I exhaled, and in that moment, I wasn’t leaving my body; I was  unfolding  into something infinitely vast. I began to traverse a tunnel—not a physical one but something alive, built from fractals of light and geometry. It was like moving through the veins of a cosmic organism, the walls pulsating with color and sound. The patterns were impossibly intricate, their movements synchronized to a rhythm that wasn’t just heard—it was  felt . Each pulse seemed to ask me,  Are you ready? I emerged from the tunnel into a vast, multidimensional expanse. Imagine standing in a cathedral that stretches forever in every direction, but this was not limited by three-dimensional space. It was an infinite layering of realm...

The Yellow Gate

  The Yellow Gate   At Frozen Head, where silence reigns, The air is still, no trace of chains. By the yellow gate, a sentinel bright, A quiet witness to day and night. Today, the hills in slumber lie, Beneath the vast and tranquil sky. Yet whispers of what's soon to be, Echo softly through the trees. In two short months, these paths will teem, With runners chasing distant dreams. Their laughter, footsteps, shouts, and cheers, Will breathe life into the sleeping spheres. But for now, the world is calm, Nature's breath a soothing balm. Frozen Head in its quiet state, Awaits the rush at the yellow gate.

In the Shadow of Giants

  In the Shadow of Giants   In Banff, where the peaks reach into the sky, their majesty reflected in the flowing rivers, I noticed a small ant with a burden to carry.   The mountains were tall, covered in snow, rivers like glass, reflecting the sky. But my attention was drawn to a simpler scene, an ant, determined, with a task at hand.   He carried his lifeless comrade, out from their home, through the grand forest, over pebbles and dirt, with unwavering purpose, to the Kicking Horse River, through the vast landscape.   Amidst all the splendor, my heart felt a pull, for this tiny creature, solemn and brave. In the shadow of giants, often unnoticed, he laid his friend down in the river’s cold embrace.   The peaks stood silent, the river continued its flow, as the ant turned away, his duty done. In a world full of beauty, his sorrow became clear, a poignant scene, quietly moving my heart.   Though the...
