You never saw
me,
the little solitary beeing
moving about
filling in the cracks and holes
as I sat beneath the summer sun
reaching for the sweetness in my mind
finding the calm
packing it all in tight like an amber suitcase
overflowing as layer upon layer
it rose higher
overflowing in the richness that is life.
You couldn’t see me there,
moving fast although almost stationary,
hovering about the dreams and colors
gathered from experience one by one
friends and memories
each packed away for savoring when darkness fell,
to sustain and revive the thoughts once more
dripping in their perfection like yellow diamonds
sparkling in themselves like jewels,
so precious and a part of this life
sweet and filled with beeing.
I will build and hover about it all
learning and seeing
laughing and fluttering about
bumbling often too but that’s okay
’cause when you’re just going about
the day to day
beeing all you dream,
not even sugar can compete
with the drops of gold
of a heart that holds
it all to share
one bloom of thought at a time.
A bit of whimsy, this pretty little cake made me smile and thought I’d spin some words to hopefully make you feel lighter and smile too.
Thanks Ka, the bees are buzzing nicely down here with spring being sprung 😊🌸🐝🌺

good morning, although not so good for me, pup has a nasty bladder infection and they’re running more tests on her sample (blood in the urine this am), stupid Vet, what started out as a flea allergy has turned into a very pricy nightmare and it isn’t over yet,
as you say your tears have tears
and I am in knots, can’t write,
not sleeping very good
just so tired….I’m sorry, you can email me some joy, I’d appreciate it,
I’m sure I won’t be writing for a little bit, just too worked up
breathing in and out and trying to stay optimistic….sigh…..miss you too.
