Brave
Lay a mouse among the leviathan,
watch the creatures scatter in discord
as they run from the tiny beast.
That mouse, silken fur from snout to tail,
is no threat in size or stature,
casts a shadow larger than itself.
So, forget not that the smallest among us
still has the power to set giants to take flight,
never let the smallness of your voice
set your heart to trembling.
