le mains

 In the woods

Dodging leaves

Branches

And limbs

Reminded

Of fragility

In strength 

Brutality

Followed

By eery calm

The roar

Of force

Is quieted

By the word

Commanding presence

In distress

Even more so 

In peaceful silence

Surrendering 

Humbling

Humanity

With each 

Sway of

Upward held

Hands
