a barely noticeable breeze
passed by the delicate pear blossom
and along its journey
caught my nose
the light fresh fragrance
became the universe
as I closed my eyes
and deeply inhaled  --
behind sunlit lids
my imagination created soft pink petals
dancing and twirling
barely attached to the larger twig
being folded and manipulated
by strong bumble bee legs
as pear blossom pollen
is gathered for a entitled
and specific queen –
further along the breezy voyage
the light scent transports me to a feast
guests grotesquely gorging
on the bounty
of a delicate pear blossom
allowed to pass away
and give life to fruit
harboring seeds
genetically coded
to create
delicate pear blossoms
caught in barely noticeable breezes
their wafting perfume
enticing one to
travel most beautifully –
