#CrossEra**A Meeting of Minds**

In a quiet garden of time’s gentle sway,
Where echoes of ages in whispers relay,
Two figures convene, from epochs apart,
To share in a dialogue, wisdom to start.

**Socrates** (circa 399 B.C.):
"Greetings, noble stranger, from realms unknown.
What brings you to Athens, where shadows are sown?"

**Leonardo da Vinci** (circa 1519 A.D.):
"Good day, wise philosopher, with thoughts so profound.
I’ve come from the lands where inventions are found."

**Socrates**:
"To delve into thought, to question the core,
Is this your pursuit, or does art have more?"

**Leonardo**:
"In art, I seek truth, in science, I roam,
Both realms intertwined, both carving a home.
Yet, in your day, the pursuit was of the mind,
While in my time, the hands and eyes are entwined."
