...the silence...



the silence now beckons
called I am to the quietude of the night
where beauty reigns supreme
where indigo crowns the crescent moon
where stars on high glimmer
the silence now beckons
called I am to the temple of my soul
where faith reigns supreme
where light minsters to my heart
where spirit soars in PRAISE.

      Dearest Theanne, Now that is a comment that certainly brings a heartfelt smile. I too, am quite taken by all the feelings that Vincent's artistry brings to each of us. I have come often to view the night, the fields, the flowers, people, as they may have been captured by Vincent. There is a freshness, an honesty, a childlike wonder and an innocence in his works that call out to me.
