** Inside Leonardo Da Vinci's Brain **

Step inside the mind of a genius........

To create, first understand the canvas.......

Gather experience for wisdom.
Knowing and willing, is never enough.
Impossible dreams you must seek
.
Universal genesis abounds all
Black canvas exposed, in luminosity's flow.
Sophistication, farthermost by simplicity's touch.

Origins lead to perceptions.
The smallest thought, a discovered masterpiece.
For without spirit, you will suffer no art.

Reflections mistakes, grow brave.
In troubles, seek laughter, fly skyward forever.
  For desireless action, destroys tenacity's way.

Never except the last supper, till supper is due.
For life is a miracle, by the hand of God.
Dreams are clarity, never finished! Never forgotten!

Author's Note

I was hmmmm'ing about this one a bit and was not going to publish, I thought it too complex but then I realized well hey If am going to have the cheek to write a poem about being in Leonardo's mind it damn well should be! Publish and be damned!

This gets better with every read, like you Hermetic Alchemist poem John. This has hidden secrets and gems of greater knowledge too! Really looking forward to your next "complex"poem!

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

I preffered my Alchemist poem....wasnt to happy with the way this one turned out.

[Michael Soul]

no not at all complex!! wonder full I see what you mean.
this it's self is a work of art. the softest touch holds more information and warmth
of spirit that lets the miracle of life flow through the artist be it music, art and words. it says so much more to me.

[Brandon S. Whitten]

Brilliantly penned. Inspires the artist in me while I paint a rainbow on black canvas.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Paint away

[Tate Morgan]

Leonardo arguably the most intelligent man ever to step foot on the earth. Still remembered 500 years later bravo who among us can lay claim to that mantle

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

None......none at all

[Gypsy Dreamer]

I, being an artist and writer, am amazed by this poem John. It is striking every single neuron in my simple mind! LOL You are truly gifted and I do enjoy reading your work.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Thank you what a great compliment.

A very apt tribute to one of my heroes of all time (I have a few others, but he's in the top 5) Well done! His life was truly interesting, inspiring and somewhat strange.
