Butterfly and the Bee

 

A bee is never quite as busy it seems

It’s just, he can’t buzz any slower.

Whilst the butterfly flutters as wispy dreams

And flies like an unchained flower.

Of our beauteous world you must beware;

chase the butterfly and it flits from grasp

for beneath nature’s beauty lays the snare –

the bee is ready to sting your arse!

Yet the butterfly, if you’re soulful

can get bolder and yet bolder

And, like the dreams that you’ve been chasing –

will settle on your shoulder.
