Bees
Summer spring bright colors, smells, flowers blooming welcome feast
Amongst these bees so irresistibly attracted to sugary nectar
A thought occurs to me, to see these little buzzing specters
What kind of journey , these perfect pollinators wander
Antennas smell and measuring flight, zipped away to honey
Bees bobbed among the blossoms, sip the rosy dew swoony
Blushing flowers shall rise upward towards the sky scents carried upon the lazy breeze
Pollen on their body, wings, and as they flit
Nestling inside blooms of fields, gardens, and budding trees
Fertilizing egg cells to make more seeds as they knit
Summer springs our new young queen bee that has been wooed
With winter reserve of honey and pollen she hibernates
As she emerges from her nest preened vibrating her flight muscles to generate heat
Her colony ready with food to rearing the rest of the brood
Worker bees huddled around her to protect and keep her warm
Like a golden yellow sea of brown bands wave their bodies to scare off rude predators
Visits of the bees help preserve and spread
Much of the existence to fields, gardens, and our natural forest
To detach the bees from the nature would mean
The demise of countless species of flowers and plants that we fail to appreciate
