Two-tailed Swallowtail, Just Grunge ‘n’ — Grunge Composition by kenne
You might cross your burning deserts
You might walk your path alone
And a sudden storm may blind you
Shake your spirit to the bone
Seeking shelter for a weary heart
A place to rest, a place to hide
Then somewhere down your troubled road
You find a place where love abides
— from “Love Abides” by Tom Russell

Thistle and Bees — Images by kenne
Your beauty will fade
A time nature determines
Never in my eyes.

What are all you guys doing here? — Images by kenne
And now you ask in your heart,
“How shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?”
Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower,
But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee.
For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life,
And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love,
And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
People of Orphalese, be in your pleasures like the flowers and the bees.
Extract from Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet

“thistles spike

now captured
in my mind’s eye
this Scottish rose
becomes my muse
as I raise a glass
of whiskey
to the dancing maids
of the highlands
in festive colors
that warm my blood
coloring different parts
of my brain
each overflowing
into the other
altering my state
of awareness
creating a new flow
yet another
basis of reality.

Bee And Thistle — Image by kenne
How Doth the Little Busy Bee
by Isaac Watts
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!
How skilfully she builds her cell!
How neat she spreads the wax!
And labors hard to store it well
With the sweet food she makes.
In works of labor or of skill,
I would be busy too;
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.
In books, or work, or healthful play,
Let my first years be passed,
That I may give for every day
Some good account at last.

Thistles attract bees
Sometimes tarantula hawks
Whatever it takes.

May the bee and thistle

and every colleague
who caries the gift

friendship will forever be ours.

Two Butterflies (Pipevine Swallowtail), Two Thistles — Image by kenne
Two thistles so green
on mountains so blue.
Two cups, each cradling
a blossom so purple.
Pouring forth nectar
each a revengeful burst.
Two butterflies lighting ,
wine tasting of Chardonnay,
winging under the influence.
Leaving each thistle behind,
next Tinker Bell,
next for the old gray Eeyore.
