Honeybee

If I come to you in summer fields
full of fragrant bell-shaped flowers, 
would you fly that I might follow
to watch you dance before your fellows
in floral-edged soliloquy?

With vibrant tempos fundamental
you turn and run and circle 'round, 
find vertical inclination
to correlate the invitation
and fly the pathway now revealed--

Then come again to summer fields,
full of fragrant bell-shaped flowers.

Note: researchers have found that when a honeybee searches for and finds a source of food, it will return to the hive and communicate to the other bees where the food is through a type of dance.
