Canvas Pleas

He suffered long with lunacy,

to which he lost an ear,

then sought some help at Saint-Rémy

in spring the foll'wing year.

Now, little did poor Vincent know,

the coverture had split

and he beheld the spirits' glow-

he wasn't having fits.

Vibrations whorled and energies'

exquisite colors shone

with such beatific majesty,

he couldn't let them go.

He painted visions frantic'ly,

from starry night to loch-

the roiling, silent, canvas pleas

of tortured soul, Van Gogh.
