Nature

flowers bloom unseen,
dolphins, at birth, swim;
elephants lived long and never forget;
butterflies’ epic round trip migration,
a transgenerational relay team.
unnecessary perfection is not;
futility is a most grievous flaw.
beauty baffles, complexities confound;
constantly wonderful and amazing:
a language, alien to human wisdom,
secrets, inaccessible to knowledge.
a fantastic picture darkly perceived
shape and colour counts as comprehension.
but truths revealed to an innocent child.
