May I Call You Mick?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michelangelo
\nsaid of his
\nDavid,<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Simple.
\nI just removed
\nEverything
\nthat is Not
\nDavid.\u201d<\/p>\n

May I call You Mick?<\/p>\n

Listen, Mick:<\/p>\n

When The Love
\nThat Is
\nThe Creator
\nBeamed You …
\na Fractal of
\nThe Light of
\nThat Love …<\/p>\n

to This
\nLight formed
\nPlace,<\/p>\n

You Came
\nwith a Task,<\/p>\n

so Full of
\nHoliness
\nRefracted into
\na Flame
\nWe call
\nThe Soul,<\/p>\n

so Full of
\nDesire
\nto Express,
\nbut Trammeled,
\nby Design,
\nwith a
\nBrain and Body
\nthat can barely
\ncontain You.<\/p>\n

Which often Breeds
\nDistress and Fear.<\/p>\n

But Focus, Mick.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just an
\nArful Game,<\/p>\n

Wherein
\nYou can Find
\nDelight<\/p>\n

in simply
\nRemoving Everything
\nthat is Not
\nThe Soul
\nthat is
\nYou.<\/p>\n
