Years

So it's been how long? Long enough to almost forget about this blog's existence but thanks to blogger and my creation of a new blog I remembered. The truth is that sad as though it may be I have not been writing as consistently or as much in these past two years. Therefore even if I had remembered I would have nothing to show for that past time, well not really. It's a good thing then that I've started writing once more because I actually do have a poem to share,or two, or three,hmmm....

"A drop of honey will not sweeten the ocean"

The world is full of much
It comes to kiss your hand
slap you in the face
all we can do is keep on buzzing

Tell me true
what is a drop of honey to you?
A Drop of care
A Drop of hope
A Drop of what?
tell me, why do we keep on buzzing?

The world tosses and turns you
on an updraft
a tempest
spinning so you lose sight of your Flower patch

Do you fold your wings
plummet to the unyielding ground?
Do you struggle against the wind
and all you go is backward

Do you dance with excitement
before your brothers?
or is all at the end of a long day
a mournful hum?

Tell me true
what is a drop of honey to you?
That which is hard earned
That which comes easy
A drop of what?
tell me, why do we keep on buzzing?

A Drop of honey may not sweeten the ocean
but a drop from each's hand will surely make it sickly sweet
A Drop of honey may not sweeten the ocean
but it sure does sweeten you
