A Molecular Fable


Molecules begrudged the pulling whirl of a sunny day causing alarm among some .  Their frantic shouts reached the ears of creatures near by.

A crow circled wondering what could be so urgent to warrant such sounds.  His caws joined the shouts of the frightened molecules.  

The wasp building his nest decided something must be done.  This was no place to raise children amid these disturbances.

The spider hidden observing silently began to stalk the wasp for a fine meal.

...and the molecules continued to shout.

The crow flew in to make a meal of spider and wasp when the poppy spoke, loudly as poppies do, silencing all.

"You poor misguided creatures!  Look around you.  There is balance and beauty from where I stand rooted.  There are cycles and circles.  Some will end but we are never truly alone or truly gone. Molecules are with in us all."

The molecules quietened by the truth smiled.  The wasp continued to build. The spider went on its way.  The crow sat high in a tree contemplating the wisdom of a poppy who bloomed where it was planted.

And the circles and cycles continued to turn.

In The Hidden Places

Like an over ripe fruit
Draws wasps and bees
With its sticky sweetness
The spider had lured
The wasp to its web
I stopped to watch
Laid on the ground trying 
To capture the moment

What a parent won't do 
For their children
Dinner was trapped
and stunned.
 The spider danced along her web
Repairing each strand
The wasp had torn
Like an engineer 
She kept her leads equal
And judged the balance
With a glance
Drawing the food
Closer to those 
Who hungered

Been Waspish Lately...

I don't know if its the weather or working six days a week since October, but's it's something.  I seem to have lost my sense of humor.  Now, that is scary because that is what gets me through the rough times.  Humor, sick, twisted humor is my fun.  Where has it gone?

I was reading some of my old posts and found a story of when I still had some humor left in me.  Please go here and enjoy!  Today I am low on humor.
