I love this poem - I keep going back to reread it. Yes, a little bee falling asleep in a flower is a gentle beautiful image. I was going to name my other favorite parts but it’s how the whole piece blends together. Thank you for sharing this loveliness.

Yes, It's really not an easy task to separate all the pieces working together to make this poem so wonderful.
