The gentle whispers of the wind stir throughout this blurred yet lively night,
the stars full of wonder and awe dance upon the sky
accompanied by the no longer lonely moonlight.
Shades of cerulean paint the heavens above
in this peaceful starry night.
–
Oh starry night!
With your sunflower like orbs enlightening the deep ocean sky,
you bless the town lying beneath you with your overflowing luminous grace
Oh starry night!
With your baby blue dragon’s breath swirling through the dramatic night sky,
you bless the town lying beneath you with a wistful cool air
Oh starry night!
You are brimming with life; a surreal interweaving of fantasy and reality
with your vivid hues of gloominess and bliss.
Two short ekphrastic poems inspired by the painting The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh
