Bees

Antenna burning from red flowery scents
Bees, the epitome of hard work, rise early for fresh harvest
A radiant sunflower waves in the garden to welcome the workers
To yet another day full of sunshine and sweet nectar
Purring in a war like dance, they fill paws with pollen 
In a buzz and merriment disguising the journeys 
Of  labor upon the wings of a tiny  insect 

The chain of life comes together to a picnic
In flowing gowns of yellow and black
In a stretch of African woodlands	
Under skies, along riverbanks

Lament not the displeasure of a sting
Be grateful for juicy oranges and wild berries 
Whose flowers conceive from bee dance on gay petals

Tire not from the buzz
It‘s the nature of life
If you do, soothe your nerves 
With the fragrance of wax 
That rides upon the breeze 
From the picnic of bees
