On a starry night he walked
to the foot of a leafless birch.
The moon cascaded its light.
It was the bluest of the blue that night.
The steeples rose and the roofs
were bathing in the serenade of blue.
His fevered brow felt the icy calm.
His eyes closed and took in the sky.
In one quick breath the universe wrote
the entire saga of his life
on the canvas he had carried on his tired back.
It was a delirium of blue on the palette and the sky.
He dipped his brush in blue
and let it swirl in spirals;
dipped again in amber, and let the birch rise
in a leafless glory ascending to the sky.
It was the night when the agony
turned into a raging flight
to tear the veil from the reality,
and the sky answered to his dream of
ending the world of duality.

The Starry Night
The Starry Night is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. Painted in June 1889, it depicts the view from the east-facing window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise, with the addition of an imaginary village.
