City of Leonardo

Sans dome to worship in.

A square.

A monastery turned museum.

You painted the divine.

You sculpted and designed.

Your ideas spun into defenses and counter-defenses

Pontoon bridges:

Men walking on water;

Propulsion, evolution

Tornadoes of the mind.

Conjuring up the unimaginable..

Notebooks loaded and coded.

Your indelible mark on Milan,

And the world

Did you see your greatness?

Did you commune with the Divine?

Did your ideas spin you out of control?

Did you delight in the ordinary?

While envisioning the extraordinary?
