       TIME TO BE LIKE BEES

    (A Freestyle Tanka Quintet)

 

Once feared allergy,

back in 1963,

gave wisdom to me:

Learned from the sting of a bee;

we need hiving unity:-

 

Researching bee stings,

revealed much about beings

and disunity:

We need hived togetherness; 

reaping from the unity:-

 

Let’s get together,

sowing and reaping oneness

in all our labors:

Let’s be hived life’s weather;

surviving in shared meekness:-

 

In a life’s hiving,

let’s be about surviving;

stinging together:

Being for one another,

no matter what’s the weather:-

 

God’s our hive’s keeper,

his love, our living stapler;

faith, being our queen;

Our hived oneness always seen:

onederful onement, live streamed:-
