A Drop

Humble small speck of green utopia
From the surface seemingly motionless
Yet full of life, cilia beat ceaseless
Paradise to the paramecia
Translucent tendrils flow, pseudopodia
Amoeba disturbing the peace. Restless
Flowing like a river alive, seamless
Trapping countless clustered bacteria
Microcosm of creation magnified
Hidden beauty revealed to naked eye
Epic struggles, on a pathetic scale
Seemingly vacant, fully occupied
Countless creatures, myriad shapes flow by
A work of art, the microscope regales
