Shapeless Clouds
Shapeless Clouds

☼☾☆

air feels heavy, still

sounds are muted, no movement

energy ebbing

shapeless clouds, hanging in place

laziness invites a nap

sun kissed wings, glistening bright

glimpses of movement within sight

~

honey bees flitting here, there

tiny beauties carrying pollen with skilled flair

~

bush to bush, flower to flower

working hard, hour by hour

~ 

busy they must be

pollination, a major key

~

purpose, transferring this golden essence

no life without the bees presence

~

pure honey, another miracle achieved

many gifts we receive

~

where do bees go, when day turns to twilight

a secret, a mystery of the night

Honey Bee and Autumn Joy

I planted several Stonecrop plants along our driveway, because they are attractive, drought resistant and the bees love them. They are in full bloom and the Honey Bees are having a feast.
