before we became
slayers of giants 
conquerors 
of brave, new worlds

we were frozen
trapped, 
inside blocks 
of Carrara 

wanting
willing to risk
everything
for a chance

the right to be
higher, 
mightier, divine
free

  6. You usually have to break out of the marble of expectations to fly with the birdies. Loved this, and not just because I love the name David.
