Ballad of a bee
#WhisperingNature
Suddenly I woke up with a jolt,
A peculiar dream made me to halt .
I tried to recall it once more,
And digged deep to reach its core.
It was about a small creature,
Which had a strange feature.
I held it close to me,
And watched it flutter like a bee.
It wanted to flew away with its group,
Which went to collect the sweet soup.
But I stopped it for my pleasure,
And made it my precious treasure.
As I was playing and giving it a peck,
My hand pressed it hard by mistake.
And it was injured so badly
That it could now breathe barely.
I could hear it languish,
As its heartbeat was about to vanish,
Then I heard a whispering,
Its last words faltering.
"Here I am going to give up my soul,
But I have an eternal regret to recall.
I was a Bee and always wanted to be,
But couldn't fulfill my purpose, Goodbye!!.."
It closed its eyes peacefully,
But opened mine eyes abruptly,
Alarmed my senses,
Enlightened my cognizance.
I am not to be held by anyone,
Not to stop for anyone,
Not to entertain anyone,
Is the lesson for everyone.
