Poem For Geeta Radhakrishna Menon Poem by Richard Wlodarski
Poem For Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Under starry skies she paints canvas of Vincent's life
Each shiny star a glimmer of hope in his tragic life
A falling star like a teardrop falls on her wet canvas
Her moist eyes holding back so many tears of endured pain
From hellish coal mines Satan rejoicing with such great fervor
As Vincent suffers in anguish for his and the miners' agony
Her prayers for Vincent are in his sermons to God's most faithful
Answered by God informing him that it's not his calling...not yet
His callings conveyed through the blood of a poet's lonely pen
Shedding the blood of a genius artist's tortured soul
Crying writing with empathy of God's chosen child
Seeing Vincent's charcoal covered face in the heavens above
Exhausted falling asleep in Vincent's pastoral setting
Dreaming of Vincent's passion and unrequited love
Dear Richard, I am touched by your tribute. It is so true that i cry with empathy for Vincent. Seeing your tribute, i have tears of joy. Thanks a million Richard.
2) Your series has truly resonated with me. I felt my father's spirit as I was reading the poems about the coal miners. Consequently, I experienced tears of pain...and tears of joy. That empathy was a great asset in writing this tribute poem. So very very happy with your receptivity!
Dear Geeta, you have opened your heart and soul to welcome the spiritual energy of Vincent Van Gogh into your life. As a result, an extraordinary creative body of work about his life is maturing like a rare wine.
The story of Vincent Van Gogh's life has moved me so much, specially his struggle as an artiste. I am an artiste so i could feel his pain and anguish. I have read and re read his letters to his brother over and over again many times.
Geeta, it is very evident that you are a true artiste. Only an artiste could feel Vincent's pain and anguish so much that she/he could make the audience shed tears of pain and joy. Vincent and Theo were blessed to have had such an extrordinary relationship.
How beautiful dear Richard! I have no adequate words to express my gratitute to you for this wonderful tribute.
Dear Geeta, your gratitude is expressed throughout in your exquisite series.
An absolutely beautiful poem honoring Dr.Geeta Radhakrisna Menon. I have read many of her poems and am truly amazed by her talents.I have enjoyed her biographical series on Albert Einstein and now on the life of Vincent Gogh.
