A Take on Guardian' Salima Hill's poem

Bees  and butterflies  that  wool-gather  honey
 also   frequent  the    pollens, acts of  nurture
in  the silken  eve.
In the  even tide when the tide of your life
dashes against  aging ,falling ,retired , tiring  days ,
crave   for more  and more
Life  ,living   and   ambition  that wool-gather   many  traits of gifts.

But  Life has  no  meaning, nor  has verve for some. 
This  is   no longer  only  the   Vedic  land of  chanting
Bones  buried  and  those   buried  alive
Skins  peeled, flesh  burnt horrendous.
 For Land, cheating, scam  and  embezzlement.
It  looks   as if   those  bones  stare  back    and 
Get   stupefied  at  the shell shocking  incidents.

An evening  walk  together  with  my  iPod  and
Pet  cat,   make  me  say  what  we  want  to say.
Hope   and diligence  knit  together,
Grant  us  what  we want. Summer   gleams .
