The Bee and the Rose

I am here.
You are far -
way out there.
Please come near. 

     I'm a rose -
     silly bee.
     Trust your nose.
     Come to me.

Elegant in its understated simplicity. Gracious in its nod to Nature. Meaningful in the intimate regions of the heart and mind... OK, I'm finished practicing. Now let me tell you what I really think of this @#$%$%$@$!#$. ... ~ Your Friendly Neighborhood Critic

ha-ha...I think that hidden in these seemingly simple words, which may, on the surface, seem inane, there's an entire universe waiting to be explored, and a profound, new way of looking at life.
