Today’s poem for Hela is especially powerful. I hope you enjoy it!

He Fumbles at Your Soul

He fumbles at your Soul

As Players at the Keys —

Before they drop full Music on —

He stuns you by Degrees —

Prepares your brittle Nature

For the Ethereal Blow

By fainter Hammers — further heard —

Then nearer — Then so — slow —

Your Breath — has time to straighten —

Your Brain — to bubble Cool —

Deals One — imperial Thunderbolt —

That scalps your naked soul —

When Winds hold Forests in their Paws —

The Universe — is still —

~Emily Dickinson
