Bumble Bee

Bumble bee
    spinning
      crazily
      hovering
        insanely
     
charging at the world
      unafraid
        of enemies much bigger
      than yourself

  you fly
    so quickly
  speeding
    small dervish
      of wonder

mighty
  in your own eyes
caring not
    how others view
your small stature

unperturbed...
  undisturbed...
you zig
  and zag

first here - -
  - - then there!

never-ending
    incessantly
        in motion
  unpredictable
      miracle
        of nature

no pattern to your travels -
    no reason to your rhyme
  only searching for
    that perfect nectar
        that will satisfy
  your craving

take what you want
      go where you will

They haven’t told you
      you can’t fly
      and so you do

tiny buzzing
    bright stripes
      of yellow-black

you hover
  looking me over

I gaze back
    and think - -

perhaps mankind could learn
      something from you
              bumble bee.
