Starry Night on the Rhone

Today's poem by Tim is based on another Van Gogh painting, Starry Night Over the Rhone.  It's a poem that gets you to stop and think about the pleasures life offers us that are often right in front of us, if we only turn our heads.

Stars
Burning bright
Each shines unique in light
Like cottage lamps casting
Over stagnant water

Patterns made
From out by Mars
Yet may turn
And don't dare to enjoy the sky's simple beauty

People run, race
Only few receive the gift
That comes at a price
That anyone can afford

Simple pleasures won't suffice
Simple pleasures won't suffice
