GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING

 

With exquisite touch

His brush added lustre

To the pearl

Endowing it with life

As it adorned the virgins ear

The depth of its splendour

Holds the watcher transfixed

With its ivory hue

Contrasting with the maidens flesh

Her milky complexion

Lit from the window

Her half open silent lips

Speaking to the soul

Her simple beauty

Shining from the canvas

How Vermeer the master

Captured that moment in Delft

And how the girl with a pearl earring

Captures everyone who sees her
