Vincent.

As I go around the gallery

These great works of art

Take me into a different world,

To many different worlds,

Where each artist shows me,

Shows me and leads me

Into their minds, hearts and souls.

I stand in front of their pictures

Sometimes wondering,

Wondering why they painted,

Painted that artwork.

A question that is never answered

But leaves me in wonder

As I look into their minds

Shown on each painting.

Why did they become an artist?

What drew them into this world?

A world that intrigues me so much.

Maybe it was as Van Gogh said,

“Maybe God made me a painter

For people who aren’t born yet”,

If so it has shown me a world

Where each painting takes me away,

Away from myself,

Into the world of their being.
