Magical Science

A Poem

It’s all I can do No joke

Today is a day when hurt is scheduled When missing goes into effect

And I have to hold up Hold it together

My favorite bird, Mr. Scrub Jay Loves sunflower seeds, all day

I think of him in a garden, perching and swaying On the tops of the sunflowers

They barely can hold him, he’s a giant But he’s quick at the task

Grab and go Take the seeds, hide them, or eat them, or both

Fly and return, fly and return Smart and beautiful

I learned that blue wasn’t a real color For birds, and my mind was blown

I learned that a lot of colors are just Tricks of the sun, playing with light, magical science

Imagine it! A field of magical science, also known as Nature

Nature that gives us all that it has Even when it shouldn’t

Even when we don’t deserve it Even when we barely appreciate

All that it takes for it to exist The magical science of flowers should be enough for us

To pause, wait, respect, enjoy.
