Bumble Bee

by Maple Tree   Nov 30, 2014


I traveled cross wisps of green
meadows so high, tips of brows
were visible,
that and
bumblebees-

You gave me reasons
to laugh upon beds of
patchwork moss,
sensing the scented
petals nearby, we grazed
upon notions of forgetful
clouds, music that played
on
for
hours.

I had earth for breakfast,
the morning your thoughts
wandered
off,
but oh the soft scented
daisies still linger..

I can hear the
bees buzzing....

    "I had earth for breakfast" - ah girl, genius line! I love how you worded this, instead of saying that you consumed the earth or you became the earth, no, it's what surrounded you even nourished you. This line and the one following it are the most thought-provoking for me, it makes me think this person you are spending time with is unclear and doubting something in their life, and you are trying to find answers in this pure, simple roots of earth.

    Such hope in this poem, from the buzz of the bumblebees (which reminded me this is how you feel and know you are alive), to still recognizing those scents even if separated. Those bumblebees, those memories and dreams, are still alive and buzzing.

    Eloquently written!

    This literally gave me chill bumps. I don't remember the last time reading a poem did that to me. Amazing.
