Consider proportion
the sum of balance
in it's measure
the alchemy of man's beauty
the mechanics of matter
Stunned at first sight
by our mother's face
the devotion of her gaze
we seek her graceful equasion
in all we see and create
The elegance of movement
from bone and sinew
the cover
of finely sculpted flesh
bewitches our eyes
But what of the soul
the mystery
under soft layer of skin
the light that emanates
from the flesh?
What is that light that fades
with our last breath?
What is the source of our soul
the mechanism
that guides our spirit?
What secrets lay
beyond the surface of skin
prohibited from our sight?
These I intend to discover
reveal through pen and brush
They said the earth is flat
that we would fall from the edge
encounter horrors unknown
The real horror
is in the need for control
(c) Linda Gayton 2006

or in any other way design the soul!This is God's alone and no man will ever control or understand it...Everyone should also remember the Davinci code is FICTION! Good to see you tackle this Lin, you are missed!

A superb metaphysical pen that contemplates on the workings and mystery of the soul.....and the last stanza is a bolt from the blue...reminded me of dear Jerry Bolton's Bolt...
Where is he these days ...:)
