Starry night

Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

This poem "Starry night" and the video which shows all his paintings, reflects what happened to Vincent Van Goh when he painted. Generally, he based his works in painting people working in the countryside, eating, drinking, sleeping. Trees with or without foliage, flowers like the daffodils, empty halls, landscapes at night where we can see stars being reflect on the lake.

It is a sample of Vincent´s feelings about his life. He made all his paintings absolutely colourful, but not because he was happy. He was depressed, instead.

In conclusion, we can use words or drawings and colours to express our feelings and emotions in any particular moment of our life.
