Strength Does Not Always Roar

Fragility is quite a strength just as the crucial bumblebees’ breath Perhaps not only titularly gentleness is stronger than severity . . . Channeling Emily Dickinson : To be a feather in a holocaust – hope, sewn in the soul, sings the song needed most A minor thought on regeneration : To regrow the leg the mantis lost – a marvel on a molecular level - most miraculous Of majestic beauty : To behold the fragile snowflake - winter’s impetus – intricate masterpieces exist in the microscopic and minutest Plant power is undisputed : To reap lemongrass’ healing gifts – behold a beloved botanical treasure of abundant benefits Quantity trumps quality when better suited : To cut out the mountains through erosive agency – water as a weatherer works wondrously Sources of energy : From the brilliant and prodigious mitochondrion - a natural wonder to the multifaceted palm frond - suitable as tinder It can certainly be said that, in the slight one can perceive preternatural might So, as the Scots say, “while we breathe we hope” and our delicate operatives firmly stay a-float
