Vitruvian Man

Michael Newberry Space Series Poetry #12

Look not upon
The blackest skies
Direct your gaze
Into my eyes

Do you not see
My symmetry -
A balance of
Geometry?

Would you name me
A work of art - 
Does science rule
My perfect heart?

Each separate part
Creates a whole
A harmony
Revealing soul

My divine form
Embodies life
The circle, squared
Transcending strife

Arms outstretched wide
I can embrace
The spirit of
This human race

Let darkness fade
Focus on dawn
A model for
All life has formed

Look not for truth
Externally
For within lies
Eternity

Though well-proportioned
As I am
We all are made
Vitruvian
