Starry Night

Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's painting 'Starry Night'...

But even though there was silence, Ear splitting silence, The stars were bright like the hope In a little girl's eyes deep down below In a city that is always sleeping. The night, Clear enough that the breeze Whispering through the barren       cobblestone streets Was visible to the naked eye. The moon, Silver like a placid prairie lake In unveiled streaks of       crescent sparkle.

The hopeful child tosses and turns In her quaint cot, On the brink of dawn awakening. ​She will be alone. All alone. She will roam the streets, Blank and mindless, Her lucidity blurred by ​       constant dormancy. She won't mind being alone For she has always been that way, Since the beginning when she fell Into a starry night Of dreamless sleep.
