the world was in your hands
you studied it,
turning it over
and over
in your gentle fingers
your eyes surveying the hills and valleys
studying,
thinking,
contemplating.
your skin tingled
with concentration
and your heart fell to your feet
when you watched the inhabitants
begin to destroy themselves
over imaginary strings.
tearing each other apart
over things that didn't actually exist
and there was nothing you could do
but watch
and cry
as it crumbled into dust
and slipped through your
gentle
fingers
