For a moment, Unnoticed-- Well. It will be what it is. hrmm - Atlas O, but to see the world
Through fresh eyes Again O, but to hold my youth In both hands So gently it does not want to fly Away. hm - Atlas A dove is trapped
Beneath a hawk Suspended in the feathers That once held it aloft Untouchable (almost) wings still beating, but not for much longer - Atlas The world is so impossibly big
And I am so small Just a minnow Trying to make ripples In a vast and uncaring ocean how am I supposed to change the tides - Atlas Despite our many differences
