    Delicious are Dreamers

    Hide your mind from topics too cruel for your delicate hearts,
    And discount ugliness for a safe escape to enchantment.
    For tender ‘dreamers’ make the most delicious dish of tyrants.

Free to act creatively yet bound to an eternal plot.

How brave the stalwart oak tree is to cope with elements.
A visible life grounded in indomitable purpose
Distinguished from the mouse that hides, avoids, and cowers unnoticed.
