Gardening with Happy Bees
…for so work the honey-bees,
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom
-Henry V, I.ii.87-89
A bumblebee hovers in front of my face
No hostility; it’s simply greeting me
As I putter from *** to place to *** again
Messing contentedly with seedlings and soil
But honeybees race around me in formation
No hostility; they’re ignoring me
They speed from water to flower to hive and back –
After all, every flower needs a little love (wink)
Blessed spring hovers softly everywhere
As bee-sy bees sing their sweetest airs

Refilling the Hummingbird Feeder
Now here is a bee
So anxious for me
to be
Far away from it

Swarm of bees
Gushed into the carcass
To build honeycomb

When one thousand years has passed us by,
I hope mother earth is still beautiful
And there's fruit trees and grass so green,
And fresh air to breathe that's clean
There's animals alive of every variety,
fireflies, ladybugs, and honeybees
I hope there's an amazing blue sky,
with songbirds together flying so high
And I hope most of all flowers still grow,
and there's a winter with falling snow

*pretty women around the world
when they see me, they smirk
and some shake their head
and say, **"who is that girl,
who is that beautiful girl?"**
some even roll their eyes
and say my ego is huge
and i need to be brought
down to size
i laugh at them and say
"I don't wear any rouge"
whenever i sashay into a room
I flip my hair, give a big smile
and strike a pose
And all the sweet honeybees,
every last one
fall down on their knees
and offer me a red rose
some even beg and plead
"marry me please"
and some give a loud whistle
just to capture my attention
and all of them in unison
exclaim with an excited smile
"wow! you rock!"
yes, glamor girl, that's me
for every last honeybee
many kisses I blow
and I give them a special wink
and whisper, "yes, I know"

when comes the time for you to go
leave not your debts unpaid for those
who barely have the time to reap
what little harvest there will be
*pursue each moment here then gone
and do not rest your head upon
the rock that shatters everything
including what's inside of it
instead remain a solid stone
unbreakable when not alone
remove your flesh from edge's rim
and jump into your other skin*
where life is like a honeybee's
that sweetens bitter tendencies
with such a graceful tiny heart
restores a world that falls apart

Sunshine on delicate pink
warms and sweetens blackberry nectar.
Scents of nectar
attracts honeybees.
Amber stripes and transparent wings
weave a tapesry on my canvas.
