Ratios

Small flowers often hide 
in the shade of larger ones 
seeking safety more than sun.

Small fishes cavort bravely 
in the shadow of the shark 
at home beneath his notice.

Small passions avoid 
the problems of the larger 
by setting their own thermostat.

Some small persons 
reach up for any hand, 
orphaned by their helplessness.
