                   VERMEER

 

Great paintings

from this Dutch painter –

Johannes Vermeer –

getting us to see

the people in front of us -

The Lacemaker,

Girl With a Pearl Earring,

A Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window,

Girl With a Flute,

and many more.

He had an interesting life –

had 14 or 15 kids,

became a Catholic when it wasn’t allowed.

Well, when people see

his paintings, they become silent

as if in Church.

It only proves all is sacred,

all is holy,

all remains to be seen.
