Vincent van Gogh - Vase with Hollyhocks

The Sound of The Hollyhocks

Trapped inside a cage, he remains as a quiet kitten

Following the path of which his parents have traced

Although he frowns deep inside he smiles on his skin

His love was a shattered piece of glass, not recognized by anyone

The cage slowly breaks down

The demon inside lurks out as the sun goes down

The flowers are his best friends as if they did exist

Fleeing to the island that he had always dreamed of

The predator chases and he can no longer run away

Either go back into the cage or flee to sanctuary

One can only take so much before breaking down

Therefore he chose to go to sanctuary

Where he met his wife once again

He never came back
