Humble bumble bee

 


The bumble bee

humbly buzzed his way in,

busily flitting between rooms,

no borders or boundaries

for our fuzzy friend.

Spring had arrived,

but no flowers could he see.

He was warming to the hospitality,

as the giant spoke to him,

a soft rumbling bass sound

vibrating the air but not threatening.

 

Busy the bee braved

to go deeper within

this giants cave.

Not at all how the older bees

described them to be.

He explored rooms.

Where were the

carved stone walls?

And how come

there is no water on the floors?

No pools of deep blue hidden

within this mysterious

cave system he flew through.

The warming scent of cooking

lingers in the air,

this is not simple fire cooked fayre.

This is herby and full of flair.

And what is with the doors?

Strange wooden panels

barring entry to some areas,

the history books must

have been liars he thought.

 

Walls of sound and vision

disturbed him immensely,

these were not like the cave paintings

they had shown in bee school.

This moved,

it spoke,

it sung,

it was...

Wrong...

Everything is wrong...

Where is nature?

Where is the love of the world?

What is with these bare trees

cut into synthetic furniture?

Where has the sky gone?

 

But then he sensed

something familiar.

Something he knew.

He swooped quickly

room to room.

Skimming across

the shining wooden surfaces,

Until he found some flowers in bloom,

just a small bunch,

held in a vessel to preserve their beauty,

for a second, he was happy.

He buzzed merrily around.

Then saw the outside and flew,

looking forward to getting away

from this stale sterile air,

he thought, as he came

crashing to the ground.

An invisible forcefield

blocking his escape

from this giant beasts lair.
