Béatrice

Written November 2018 Béatrice (French: BAY-uh-treece) From Latin - Viatrix or Beatrix, meaning "traveller; she who brings happiness"

I swell and crack

And I tell the bees of you

Of the nectar from which you will be born
The sweetness of what created you

And of your names, the four that, when strung together, become yours
Every syllable and sway

They hum gently back to me

Confirming my knowledge of you, growing curiously inside

And I'll spend this whole winter learning you, Earthside
Side by side

Finding our delicate balance
Mother, daughter
Little honeysuckler, I give from myself
Momma, Béa

So the bees who meet you in Spring and the Sun that greets your first Summer, green with life
Will awaken to your sunny laughter

You, Tanzanite Traveller

You, Bringer-of-Joy

I enjoyed this very much. Great writing. " You, Tanzanite Traveller ", a December Baby. May the two of you have an amazing and joyous experience learning each other.
