Life Requires a Moment of Tranquility

AN IRRITATING BUMBLE BEE
INSISTED ON RUNNING INTO ME.
TRYING MY PATIENCE
OR SO IT SEEM.
I TRIED TO IGNORE
FOR I WAS TRYING TO DREAM.

I OPENED MY EYES 
TO A CLEAR BLUE SKY.
POLITELY ASKED 
THE QUESTION WHY.
AROUND IN CIRCLES
HE CONTINUED TO FLY.

HE FLEXED HIS WINGS
AS IF HE HAD POWER.
I INHALED THE FRAGRANCE 
OF WILD FLOWERS.
WENT BACK TO SLEEP
FOR ANOTHER HOUR.
