Temperance

I observed a little turtle,
Swimming through still waters
Making small ripples;
Moving half-an-inch at a time,
Swallowing the water gliders 
That came along its course;

I observed a busy bee
Buzzing around the green grass:
Fearless and feisty,
Swishing past giant humans
Drawing nectar as it flew,
One flower at a time.

I was startled by a Monitor Lizard
Leaping down from a tree
Dragging its heavy body,
Across the grass
Plunging into the waters:
Not threatening the little subjects around;

I observe the little pigeons
Pecking at the ground
For tiny worms and mealbugs
Scourging and searching
With their tiny feet on ground
Despite their amazing flights.

I'm amazed:
I, a nobody
Perennially trying 
To be an Eternal somebody
Hopping, juggling, jumping,
Whimpering, menacing, shriveling,
With much agony and meanness;
Am amazed at the nature's bounty:
The wisdom, the temperance, the abundance.
