Invisible Bee

Here is a poetic arrangement inspired by the seeing of Rumi:

Look how desire and longing have changed in you.
Overtime feel how light these have become,
   even transparent.
And because of your inner changing, look how the world around you
   is growing ever new marvels. 
You see, your soul has become an invisible bee.
You don't see it working, but it is busy storing up honey
   filling the honeycomb full,
   and rising through the nine levels of being.
And your body--that 5-6 feet or so--is like a corked barrel
   full of the vineyard's oldest wine.
When we see you now, it is not so much your physical form
   that we are seeing, but the company of the two companions
   who are with you:
      --the pure inner fire of your longing,
      --and the love you have for the Friend who teaches you.
And we also see the company of the blazing sun,
   and the soft reflective moon
   keeping pace on foot behind you.
