Sunflowers Vincent Van Gogh
When Van Gogh Dreamthe saw fieldsfull of sunflowers nodtheir patient heads like cowsthat huddled under the broadleaves.He noticed how the softest of gustswould comb over turnedmanes.
It was summer,and the world fell underthe spell of drenchingheatthat swirled the starsdancing over dark and fallowfields.
It was summer,and clouds cast in silver filled spaces.Cowbells echoed into heat-cured pastures and hay was gatheredby callused sun-wornhands.
It was summerand the sunflowers bowedcomplacent in an earthenwarevase.The air was heavy with rainas he gathered his toolsand made the canvasinto a netin which to catchelusive yellowthe moment before itfalls.
