Hamsa
We fall under the gaze
of so many eyes
ready to cast judgment
ready to mark our time
ready to clock our actions
with authoritarian bearing –
But the gaze is harmless
the judgment without force
simply observation
a bark without bite
meant to sway and intimidate –
We stand, protected
immune to evil’s harm
surrounded by love
and held within her hand – Caroline A. Slee
