 "The Starry Night"

"The Starry Night," a painting by

Vincent Van Gogh of view he had

From his window of eastern sky

Of Asylum he'd gone to mad.

The stars included Venus bright

Joined with the shining crescent moon.

Mysterious swirls spun through night.

Imagined village to commune

To balance the lone cypress tree,

Which oft is seen to denote death.

Beside it a church steeple be,

Perhaps in show of hopeful breath.

"The Starry Night," did Van Gogh find,

Creating it, some peace of mind?
