Carefree Honeybee

Carefree Honeybee, 

Don’t you see the hope you’ve given me?

I’ve climbed up and up and up but the end seems never closer, and I’m reaching reaching reaching for a dream that’s never there.

But that’s when I saw, in the flowers soft maw, a Carefree Honeybee

And if you can hover and buzz, if you can dance and love, in the face of growing darkness

Then maybe I can too.

And if the rain pours down, you’ll take cover in the forest, green life all around 

Not a care in the world you’ll have, little Carefree Honeybee

The flowers nectar, so sweet, and the sunlight, you’ll meet, and twirl in a dreamland of hope and relief. 
And with open arms your hive will greet you, a homecoming to revive and treat you, to a rest that’s well deserved.

If you can rest, maybe I can too.

Carefree Honey, don’t you see the hope you’ve given me? 
Now when I’m stuck in a tunnel of depression, happiness gone replaced by desperation,

I’ll remember the lesson you taught me.

  • The Sun, My Lost Friend

    The sun, I think is like a friend that you have lost

    One that you've drifted so far from, that it is impossible to return

    Yet still its light shines on you, so blinding you must look away.

  • Mother Earth

    In the cradle of the galaxy’s abyss, we float

    Born and aged through evolutions, revolutions

    The Earth has been here, and we are passengers on a never ending journey in our orbit round the sun

  • Lullaby

    Carried by the songbird’s wings 

    Through forests bright, caverns dim, 

    Flying in the wild wind.  

    Tears have been shed and goodbyes have been said 

    And the light is leaving from your eyes.
