The Small Part Of a Bee's Life

The small bumblebee lands lightly on the blossom,

camouflaging with the colours.

Pollen sticks to its fur while it explores

the small world it had alighted;

adding onto the collection it unknowingly made.

Once it's done, the bumblebee flies off, 

back to the safety of its queen, colony and colleagues,

and stays there until the colony demands it to go back into 

the wild world outside.

Everyone stares or starts to laugh while I pull myself up

I hurry on to my next class.

My body is not as hurt as my pride.

Poppies ready to

 burst into brilliant flames;

true blazing blossoms.

Sunlight filtered through the canopy,

the twisted roots exposed to

the sudden light.

A glimpse of 

an underground world many

 will never see.

 The foundation of 

a tree brought into

one pathway.

Paradox

I am here, and I am not.

You can see me when you are not looking for me, 

hear me when you're not listening.

I am made of matter and anti-matter,

chaos and order.

I am what you think I am not.

What am I?

                                          transparent columns of ice.

Disappearing with time,

    building itself again until the

            thin winter sun comes and

                  the icicles must 

                      melt.

Waterlily and bud

The waterlilies

rise out of the humble mud,

exposing their petals to the

light.

Black water and

green leaves 

contrast in a swirl of shades.

And yet, the blooms will not

last forever,

and all that is beautiful

must eventually return 

to their origins.
