Bees
and all that come with them — minus the stings — are the latest
beauty obsession.
When a forraging bee
finds blooming flowers,
she flies to her hive and dances,
telling her sisters
direction and distance
to delicious, nutritious bowers.
There is no celebration,
no congratulation,
although there is a buzz.
All of her sisters
get right to work because
that is what a bee does.
that is what a bee does.
Would the hive thrive
or even survive
had she not done her dance?
Bees, unlike us,
are not individualist.
A bee sees no need to “advance”.
For many a year,
bees have been here.
bees have been here.
Though we make a mess
and cause them distress,
bees, being ever so smart,
will carry on after we've gone.
Bees are stars,
ours is a bit part.
ours is a bit part.
