Jeff Kyser Poet Light Verse

To Bee

to see
a bee
just be a bee
is to behold
to surely see

a bee
you see
can only be
and being bee
he cannot flee
to take the 
form of
tick or flea

him being bee
him with his buzz
when I reflect
I think it does
help me to see
that being me
is all that I
shall want to be

and when we die
no longer buzz
and make the shift
from is to was
I think that I
will learn to fly
and he and I
will both
with
I AM
be

Jeff Connelly October 20, 2022 at 7:33 AM Brilliant. Zen butterfly dreaming of being a man or man dreaming of being a butterfly? I really love the ending... Being with "I AM"... Brilliant Jeff. Absolutely brilliant...

Gershon Wolf October 18, 2022 at 7:26 PM Sounds like an improvement over Morse Code to me... Dot-dot-dot-dot-dash-dash...

Ilene Bauer October 18, 2022 at 1:31 PM jeff - your cleverness is a pure delight! Jeff Kyser October 18, 2022 at 1:39 PM Frances is just delighted that there are folks who will look after me and keep me out of trouble so she doesn't have to! :). Thanks for the read and the encouragement, Ilene!

Bj Legros Kelley October 18, 2022 at 1:28 PM Awesome wisdom in this amazingly fun little ditty! Faving it. I truly adore this sweet wisdom and am fascinated by how you did this! Jeff Kyser October 18, 2022 at 1:34 PM Hi BJ, these are the ones that baffle me. I can't think of what to write, and I go out with Missy for a walk, and there are the bees, feasting on the persimmons on the ground, and pop! there it is, lol. Thanks for reading and commenting!
