Bees
Bee visiting a poppy in bloom at Mission San Juan Capistrano, Southern California
From bees of either gender
I tend to run and hide.
I fear that they will harm me
The longer I’m outside.
Indoors, away from stingers,
I find a book or two
To while away the daylight,
Until the bees are through.

just beyond the courtyard fence
the fading blossoms

Tolling
Mission San Juan Capistrano, Southern California
long before sunset
even the wren stops singing
to heed the bell’s toll

tolling a bell for all seasons

Rock and Salvation
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
Psalm 62:1-2, King James Version
Rock and salvation,
I shall not be greatly moved—
you are my defense.

A Honeybee’s Rejoicing
Finding fragrant spoil,
a honeybee’s rejoicing
sweetens April’s air.
