BALANCE

BALANCE

walk in the garden,
see the industrious bees,
going to and fro,
with perfect equilibrium
from blossom to hive...
balanced perfection
wonder, then,
about humanity...
where is the natural balance
of bees in the garden
               backwards and forwards               
from flowers to hive
       a balance mankind "has not got"... 

Author's Note

jeannemarie, I noticed you reviewed one of mine so I'm here to return the favor. I also notice you write a lot about nature and the wonder of it all, and I try to remember why I enjoyed living most of my life in an urban/suburban environment. Your poetry reaches out and strums a tree branch line an acoustic guitar, the song of nature reverberating through the woods. You have a wonderful touch with this type of write, and I thank you for sharing it. take care...dan

Im no help on the title..I'm horrible at remembering titles an actors names. My husband forever teases me about it. So while I vaguely remember it, I have no clue for ti ed or author.
I like ghe natural rythm of bees to flowers and back to hive, doing as much for the flowers as the do for their colony. The sad thing is that people are mocked when the chooose to live in harmony with nature.
