On a Lonely Night You Will See You're Everything to Me

a piece based on the the painting 'Starry Night' by Vincent Van Gogh

I ran like the wind, chasing my calling yet running from my fears. The dark blue June sky dropped over me like a red curtain descending after a breathtaking show. I carelessly wondered along the sides of apartment walls and through the fresh mowed grass just to get to you. The night was calm, challenging me with every step I took. I stumbled upon a narrow inclined gravel path leading to a horizontally stretched hill which rolled down to the apartments like the peaceful deep blue sea. I climbed and climbed in search of you, in search of warmth, in search of freedom. As I reached the top I saw you, your hair gleaming in the brilliant moon light. You floated my way until we reached a distance where we could speak. My heart fluttered like a humming birds wings while I sat down on the damp grass. I looked up at the bright stars that accentuated the almost black sky and let a warm smile escape from my lips. Not a care in this world, not a sound to be heard, not a fear in my mind.
