Bees Please

drinking the sun through petal straws

Bees climb the steps to the sun

standing proud, leading the way

turning backs on obscurity

bobbing to dance of the clouds

drinking the sun through petal straws

hanging on to wisps of dreams

vibrant in rich June earth

an unfinished sketch

of pure vanilla delight

drinking the sun through petal straws

pollen baskets in their hands

sunlight coursing through veins

dripping aromatic bouquets

bees dancing tangos

drinking the sun through petal straws

luminous brown eyes

wink in delight

leaving scattered trails

of seed progeny as they go

drinking the sun through petal straws

nectar orgy of bees

in cheerful sunshine emotions

exposed roots of their strength

transparent smiles of their souls

drinking the sun through petal straws

a hundred smiles along the way

sky sheeted with pillow clouds

spirit opens sunflower petals

knowing the sun always rises.
