Hands

Abstruse hands crawling upon the horizon   
                              Searching for a place to disembark
                         Hands of all shapes and colors waving together in a           
                      bombastic throng shouting and screaming as they march along 
                                          Cold hands, warm hands
                                               Nervous hands
                                                Filthy hands
                                                Shaky hands
                                               Anxious hands
                                               Painless hands
                                              corrupted hands.
                  Wavering hands holding strong singing an unfamiliar song
                   Mothers holding  babies on their milk-less breast looking
                                       for a place to take a rest.
                      Fearful hands whispering, nimbly hands gallivanting
        Poisonous hands holding cups high entrancing ambition on the other side
                   while delightful hands wave the elevated banner mesmerizing  
                 the dark clouds above them and emptying the souls beneath. 
                 Touchy hands, evil hands, weak hands, rough hands, dirty hands
                   grasped tight on defeated hands while trembling hands linger on.
                  Cancerous hands spread wide snatching at its prey as they go by
                                                 Long hands
                                                Heavy hands
                                                  Big hands
                                                 Small hands
                                                 Cursed hands                                            
               All in a bubble ready to stir up dangerous trouble
    roaming from valley to valley waving and banging sticks and shovel cursing  
    and swearing in the  open.

 Fearless hands, peaceful hands, blessed hands, hopeful hands,  divine hands danced courageously with the victorious pack riding on horse backs.
 
  Bloody hands dampens the earth with its  musty sweat sinking deeper and deeper in a shadowy death.Defeated hands hanging on the pinnacle watching the globe spinning on a slippery slope. Hands carrying candles to the foot of the hill watching the universe  on edge oh what a repulsive chill.
