TELL IT TO THE BEES / MEIRA DATIYA
Poetry

Do you hear it?...
Do you hear the beat of the drum?
Do you smell it?...
The smell of herbs wafting in the breeze?
Herbs from another time...
Another life. ...
Do you see it?...
In a trance...
In a glimmer...
The world that we lost...
Do you want it back?...
Are you ready?...
You must go on a long journey...
Slip through forgotten memory...
Find the bees...
Ask them to come back...
Call them with a chant...
Gather the seeds...
Gather the plants...
Tell them our plight...
So they follow you back...
