Frames of Reference

what though there be a garden of flowers
the essense of the whole distilled to but a drop
the humble bee alights
frozen in time and purpose
sucking the nectar of its created heaven
in the now in the here 
gridlocked

I like the word choice in this so much, especially humble bee, created heaven, and gridlocked. This one is fine writing, Karam.

Thank you for dropping by, James. Sadly the flowers and bees are slowly fading out. Was a time when flowers used to bloom everywhere and beesong buzzed in the fragrant air!
