Michael Angelo‘s David

The one that slew goliath

Started life buried in a block of marble

That had been

Abandoned In a quarry

A leftover from another project.

Mike as we shall call him

Said he didn’t sculpt the David

He simply chipped away until he found him

It took two years.

David he says Had always been there.

He just had to be On Earthed or on marbled… My words not his.

You know what I’m going to say

You and I a most exquisite piece of art

Abandoned left over from another project

Nevertheless, when we put ourselves in the hands of the Great sculptor spirit

Things get chipped away

What was hidden is revealed

And then we are polished

And then maybe happy tourists come to admire Our beauty.
