A voice that is small

November 4, 2019
By Anonymous

There are voices that crack and strike 

Like lightning on hot pavement

That stand tall and steadfast

Like the thick trunks of oaks

And unsettle the paralyzed air 

With their bolts and stretching fingers.

 

And there is a voice that is small

That trembles as a mere blade of grass

Or a single leaf shaking in breezes

But it dares to whisper to the air

It dares, in its firm roots and fragile skin,

And with all the strength of vulnerability.
