For Vincent...

Tonight, I write to you...
Tonight, I write for you
and about you...
I write in honour of your golden, sunbathed sunflowers and your lilac irises...
I write in awe of your turbulent skies and your enchanting starry nights...
I write in recognition of your greatness, your gentleness, your passion, your sensitivity and your fragility...
I write to you, me, a nobody, to tell you that your imagery and your words have touched the darkest corners of my soul...
I want to tell you, to let you know,
"You felt deeply, you felt tenderly"...
