BEECHASING BLOOMS

Do beeloved
flowers chase bees?
Does Mother Earth bite?
Do rivers run backwards?
Do
butterflies gather
speeding tickets?  
It is to the meditater
at the
tree's base and not to the
hunter that the gentle deer come.

(to bee attracting C Nevada who juggles 3 careers)

UNLOCKSMITH

The heart's molten
love forges keys
which of all
other hearts
are the unlocksmith

(to C Smith)

BOOKKEEPER

If one has
to choose
it's better to
be a bookkeeper
than a beekeeper
because
when the former
are crushed
in the racks
.. there are no
dead bees
left in the tracks

NO MOW

When there's mowing
butterflies have
no mo wings

Machine deflowerers
remove the petaled
frocks of dandelions
and daisies and dahlias

and turn green tree saplings
into sticks
sending tree souls
to the River Styx

By
doing nothing
nonmowers create
paradise.

BIRTH OF BREATH

There was a second birth
.. of breath within him
and he began to go
to breathe.. not eat
.. to relax
to breathe.. not read
  for diversion
to breathe.. not caffein guzzle
  for energy
to breathe.. as the path
to the Spirit which he was

CLOVER DEW BEE

Once as he was slowed
down by a dooby
he saw to cloverdew
come a bee
and suddenly he knew
it is less important
to do than to be

After that he
needed no dooby.

HOW DO YOU DO?

How do you do?
said the rose to the bee.
On the dewclad rose
said the bee to the rose
I would rather do
than to be.

REST

The first thought
Whenever obstacles
his way arrest
that God might
want him to rest

The second that
the scene
does his will test

They called the wind
lackadaisical..
but because he in freedom blows
the world will never
lack for daisies..

(to Laurie Otto
Milwaukee Wisconsin advocate of wild lawns)

WORKAHOLIC

Some praised him that he
worked so hard
and to noble goals did aspire
Others knew the cruelest
taskmaster in all hellfire
was the whippings of his
own desire

BEE OVER DEW

Be Over Do
Bee Over Dew
