That's All It Takes

Weeds tangled in the dazzling lavender,

olive green, mandarin orange and

ruby red flowers helping the bees 

create their masterpiece.

I could smell the perfume from the petaled beauties

I could feel the warm breeze 

touching my soft skin

whipping my golden locks around.

Deep in thought, I marvel at them.

But do they do the same to us?

Do they ever gaze up from their work deep in thought?

Thinking why do they destroy our artwork

and all our hard work?

“We need to help them,” I said aloud

We need to do a lot of work 

Planting more, littering less

That's all we need,

just spend 5 minutes.

That's all it takes.
