! ! A Teaspoonful Of Honey Makes...(A Viveku)

A bee, it’s said, in its whole working life
brings to the hive a vast
treasure of obedience:
a teaspoon-full of honey.

The scholar, spooning honey from the jar
into his tea-cup,

pauses.

[A viveku ('we-way-koo') is an Indian-Japanese informal verse which carries an awakening thought]
