A poem shared with us, by a fellow community member after discovering us via our collaboration with DELL Technologies.
I’ve been hugged by a bee
I’ve been hugged by a bee
It’s true you will see
A bumbling beautiful she bumble bee
A chill in the air
Caught her unaware
She sat in the palm of my hand without care
At first, she just lay
As if just to say
I’m cold and I’m tired so please go away
Yet as she felt my heat
Like a heated car seat
She curled round my finger as my heart skipped a beat
The touch of her hair
Some dark and some fair
I sat down to warm her on my garden chair
Her legs wrapped my thumb
Then out came the sun
As she became warmer her wings she did hum
When her wings moved so fast
Our hug did not last
She let go and she set to the heavens at last
Though our moments together
Were over too soon
I imagined her flying past sun and past moon
And she’d somehow remember
The pleasantest time
Where I held her heart
And she held mine
