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.
“Maybe God made me a painter for people who aren\'t born yet” -Vincent Van Gogh
