Notes About The Poem
Every time I see the vault of Sistina chapel
, I feel emotioned thinking to the miracle of Michelangelo, an old man working hardly in a very difficult position and producing such a marvellous thing for us

Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Paints the vault of Sistina.
His old hands are firm.

Michelangelo
Paints the vault of Sistina.
Tiring position.

Michelangelo
Paints the vault of Sistina.
Youthful fervency.

Michelangelo
Paints the vault of Sistina.
No matter his age.

Michelangelo
Paints the vault of Sistina.
Plenty of colors.

Michelangelo
Paints the vault of Sistina.
Magic miracle.

Michelangelo
Paints the vault of Sistina.
Will last forever.

Michelangelo
Paints the vault of Sistina.
For billion of eyes.

Michelangelo
Paints the vault of Sistina.
Beautyful dream.

Not going to lie...my inner child was hoping this was about Michelangelo the Ninja Turtle. How wrong I was. :) Either way, this was a very great dedication to a man who made history. A man for the ages. Excellent job!
