A Heavenly Stroll

The divine Sistine Chapel..
As the Creator touches our hearts with love..
To allow inspiration as such..
To lend a helping hand to a most fascinating man..
He paints with grace..
Extraordinary gifts he portrays..

A heavenly stroll through the Sistine Chapel..
A sweet taste of heaven on earth..
So grand is a stroke of a golden paintbrush..

The eyes have seen glory ..
Through the eyes of a gifted painter..
Share in the glory of the divine....

He had opened a passage..
A doorway to bliss..
Many samples of splendor..
Spoken to us in supreme beauty 
And beyond..

Ceilings of the mighty Sistine Chapel..
Brings forth sunlight..
A heart is opened to receive love..
As souls dance ..
While angelic beings sing in soprano..

Blessed we are..
With his gifts..
Of which become our treasures..

A heavenly stroll..
Our eyes have seen..
Through his eyes..

Blessed we are .
Dear Michelangelo ..
As his essence remains..
The epitome of Italian Renaissance..

Robertina, the great Artist who paints with stars, waterfalls, gardens, and rainbows also gifts and guides artists such as Michelangelo to open our eyes to wonderful truths, beauty, and redemption history. This poem is a lovely tribute to both! ~ John

Strolling in grace with your expressive words and flowing feelings on the path of Faith, Beauty, Artistry! Embracing the divine in holy places with an "opened heart" and a "dancing soul"! A sculpture of wonderful poetry! So pleased to read you, Robertina! Warmest wishes and blessings.
