black&gold

I
am a bumblebee.
I am not the most beautiful butterfly,
or the fastest wasp.
I do not have the strength of the ant, I cannot lift my own weight.
I cannot climb mountains,
or swim in the sea.
Because
I
am a bumblebee.
I am the black of night, and the gold of the sun.
I am covered in a layer of softness
and a fine coating of glistening pollen.
I am fortune,
and I am a fighter.
And by the laws of nature,
I should not stay afloat.
But that will not stop me.
Because
I
am a bumblebee
