Once In The Company Of Bees Poem by BASAB CHAUDHURI

How softly the bees touch the rose
absorb her fragrance - elsewhere goes,
A silky touch - doesn't look back,
unlike man, not carrying a sack.
Full of life, always so sure
unlike us, thought so pure,
No one of them reads philosophy
Flowers' abundance, love's geography.

From rose to the sky - a smooth flight
Ascent and descent - nature's delight
Quick to see where to land
Far from those - cement or sand.

A swarm of bees swims through time
Gives poet a chance to find rhyme.
