Path in the Woods, Vincent van Gogh (1887)

This Sunny Day

Did walk gingerly on this sunny day
Not really sure my destination
Just listening to what I had to say
Resulting in my great consternation

Half hidden in my path I did not see
A stone that quickly sent me to the ground
Sounding as if a falling aged oak tree
Cautious not daring to emit a sound

Laid there awhile afraid to move an inch
Unsure of the event that just happened
Strange feeling, both hands my heart I did clinch
Smiling for I was unknowingly stunned

Looking to the sky with such pain inside
Such was it that made me feel so alive
The feelings in my heart I will abide
For it’s a special love soon to arrive
