And so I stopped to stay
Noticing how unique they were
In their very common way.
I couldn’t help but see
Purring by a plant in bloom
A very tiny bee.
It flew among the calling flowers
Seeking nectar by the sip
Causing me to think more closely
Of its mouth parts and its tip.
A proboscis that extends and probes
Among the pollen grains
What a wonderful invention
An extension of their brains.
So silently it buzzed about
Then it was on its way
A small but glad encounter with
Our nature on this day.
