The buzzing of the bee! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
I don't understand some of the symbolism of 'Look his chariot of seven horses' but I do relate to the line, 'A bright red lotus has bloomed today' and ' Will morrow's dream take the form of sun? ' This tells me of the wonderful flowering of nature and its short-lived span of life just as we humans come and go and are here for such a short while but need to enjoy and make the most of our given span.
Mesmerizing flight of imagery of the poet and magnanimity in presentation has made this awesome poem simply great.
'In every one of his million hands He carries a tangled web of love'.....Indeed! The lotus worships the sun, the giver of life on earth! No sun, no life!
May be from the Sun The Sweet dream come not to run away but to live with love everyday .... //// beautiful poem
The wind, the bees, or the gentle spray: Who needs an invitation to a party, eh? ..... sounds great
