Vincent

he was, perhaps, the greatest artist this world will ever know

even today, untarnished glory blazes in each of his creations

wherever we look, few have achieved like mastery of their craft

but yesterday, oh dark and drear yesterday, he stood forsaken

had not the faintest inkling how great the years would make him

knew full well his gift, knew too well an unrealized appreciation

and died

to be found by fame’s elusive fortune after tears no longer cared
