There are days
Grey is my colour
My fist is an empty net
My loneliness is trapped within
My lost lines
There are nights
Black is my colour
My mind is full of melancholy
My heart remembers it’s broken
My hope gone
Blue is the island
An oasis of seeking shade
Shade of hue and colours somewhere
On the horizons of intuition
Beckoning
Yellow is the fire
A symbol of promised growth
Rays invisible yet warming
The seed pushing towards light
Determined
For in my every dark hour
Every colour is comfort
Every form is transformation
Spirit, never stop looking
For Art.

To write something with someone else, that is quite an achievement! And by the way: that painting is one of my favourites of van Gogh.

🙂 Yes, I love duets and trios and quartets (and more). It’s just lovely when numerous minds and souls contribute to a work. When the chemistry is right, it just opens up new dimensions of perception, feeling and experiencing.

And this painting is also one of my Van Gogh favourites too- (Although to be honest, I love all his works)
