Pries all from nothing’s embrace
Drawing shadow from light
Shape from space
Movement:
The ellipse conveys point to line
The triangle, line to plane
Now purpose:
The arch, reaching into the distance
Searching for confirmation
Opposing shores united
Ideas connected into thoughts.
Just as humanity itself is found in spiraling clouds
So the Engineer finds humanity in the fruits of earth cycles
Connecting them
Making them familiar
Bending them to human will
Forces transformed ‘to desires
Pillars of rock into reaching arms and sturdy legs
The hand, through steel and concrete
Caresses the sky
Harnesses the wild flow
The familiar face, a glint in its eye
Staring reflectively into the sun
Within, thoughts of plan and purpose.
So, the structures of all humanity
Are cast forceful and bold by the Engineer
The two cultures only one
In flesh and stone.
