I watched in grim disbelief the greatest of dreamers be cast into a snake pit &succumb victim of venom hiss & become a numb prisoner to the dreamless ___________________________ People are born to be free to escape the past to defy to lead to be strong to divinely intervene to rebel to go against their captors ___________________________ Drifting in and out of sleep still fighting to climb the staircase of dreams _________________________________ (c) 2013 Jessica Robbins
