Bee at Work

🐝

Bee at work,

Quite at work;

Awakening flowers,

Flower to flower, pollinating;

Pollens of life, mediator to life.

Some buzz, others hum;

Some watch, others still;

My vision blur the visual thoughts in the

Flight of a striped bee

Aligning, and descent in a rhythm;

A motion in a dance with

A tiny stretch of hind legs.

A second passes, and its motion

In a rhythm of ascend, aligning

Flower to flower, pollinating;

Pollens of life, mediator to life.

Quite at work,

Bee at work.

My heart goes to the dedicated, hard working bees on World Bee Day, 2020

Going Solo

I see, 
sea around
Calm to clouds
Water they share
Rains spoke not a word.
Trees fresh green watch
Droplets through spread feathers, black
White dome, a standstill globe
I take control from atop
Rains spoke not word.
Illusions of power and strength
I sense from where I sit tall and proud
That's the universe of acceptance
A little ruffle is simply harmless
I see!

A crow that I am
Free I feel as I fly and perch...
Only a few worried glances at times;
At times, my curiosity gets misrepresented
Irrational as it may sound,
Wonder aloud "why me"often;
Why judge me by tales of good and evil?
Only a few loving eyes glance,
No, they look at me, and I speak,
"Like you, I search my reality."
