A Mystery
Do Bumblebees
Sleep in the rain?
Do they shower and snore
With a rainbow before
Pulling petals
Up tight beneath chins?
The rainbow is sure
To share its colors anew
Each time the flowers
Dance under summer showers
The music all played
In wind.
While the impossible wings
No longer hum
To carry the impossible aloft,
From city to croft
The children all sing
Of the bumblebee's love.
From the wilds of the barnyard
Comes a dancing mambo string
Of pony hooves lacing the air
No gypsy's fine fair
Could parade with such sparkle
Nor could racers do more to display.
The impossible horse
On impossible feet
Waltzing without mathematical design
Makes the scientist resign
To see magic alive on the hoof
In the form of the horse.
A field of daisies and timothy grass
A haven, a heaven to know
Where the bumblebee may sleep
The birds of the field do cheep
And glorious horses run
On impossibly tiny quick feet
I look for impossible clues
Amid beauty and color,
The impossible blooms,
The mystery resumes,
And all of nature's design
Is genius true in its grace.
A ride on the horse is impossible yet
It makes my heart play tunes
Seeking one chance
To visit in trance,
One solitary creature asleep.
...Do bumblebees sleep in the rain?
