Inner Woman Volume 2 -
11 Bee Garden
With every shade
blue, cyan, violet and purple
Mexican sunflower’s golden yellow
hyssop, thyme and mint
the bees and butterflies
adorn the flowers
and sweet scents
soothe the spirit
hummingbirds flit
darting jewels
bees compete
for nectar sweet
and herb pots stand
chives in bloom
as the thrumming whir
of stubby wings
drone the ancient rhythm
of beehive heaven
Indian paintbrush
glimmering red
black eyed Susan’s
Echinacea cornflower purple
Hollyhock spikes
Larkspur blue and
Lupins in every hue
Yarrow white, bee balm fuchsia
Asters ivory, in front of
Phlox pink height
Taller yet the hibiscus hedge
pineapple sage carmine
Betwixt and between butterflies flutter
shimmering prisms of pollen
from one to another and back again
From snowdrops in spring
into autumn’s bright zinnia
busy bees
gather more
herbs than the
snip of scissors can shear
in the depth of
winter’s sleep,
an herbalist’s skills
heal all of our ills
with honey laden tea
from the bee garden’s
bounty
under the Linden tree’s
bower
