Love

A notable, divine soul awakened.

It crossed paths with mine.

Old embers resurrected.

Two souls aligned.

A hidden war.

Arose a familiar sentiment.

Compelling yearning.

Child like essence evident.

I’m back online after all this time, I’m taking art appreciation as one of my college courses and Michelangelo’s work is what first got my interest into the art realm.

What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world. The paragon of animals. And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

from Hamlet, Act 2 - by William Shakespeare (via scribe4haxan)
