Letter To Leonardo Da Vinci

You were the Renaissance man who
Had a wonderful romance with life
You shattered the ordinary matrix and
Produced extraordinary results!
You painted the “Mona Lisa” and overwhelmed
The inhabitants of this planet with sketches of the future!

Even though your parents never married each other
You still exposed the beauty of your talent to your generation and
In doing this, you showed us that
It was not a diabolical error for
Your parents not to be married!
Like many artists
You received no kind of formal education
Remarkable, you rose above the ordinary and did extraordinary things!
You were persecuted and arrested but
You knew that your talent would make room for you
Because you had a vision and
With a vision, comes precision in any form!
You broke the shackles that live within the norm
So I can inform my generation that
We can break the cycle of comfortability and
Sparkle innovations beyond the scope of man in any form!

You were the Renaissance man who
Had a wonderful romance with life
You shattered the ordinary matrix and
Produced extraordinary results!

Your portrait ‘The Last Supper'
Survived during the war and gave you
The upper hand as a masterful script for your life and
Even though you and Michelangelo did not get along
You stood your ground because you knew the nature of your talent!

You broke the shackles that live within the norm
So I can inform my generation that
We can break the cycle of comfortability and
Sparkle innovations beyond the scope of man in any form!

You were the Renaissance man who
Had a wonderful romance with life
You shattered the ordinary matrix and
Produced extraordinary results!
