I want to be free like the bees.
Buzzing about and sipping on sweet honey.
Seeing nothing but beautiful flowers for days,
And having a sense of meaningful work.
When I would go home to the hive.
My fellow bees would have stories,
Of the flowers they flew by.
Their pollen collections going towards the whole.
For no Bee suddenly goes,
It's mine!
All Mine! I collected this pollen.
Therefore I get it.
No bees. Collect together.
And have no race wars to the top.
And at the end of the night,
Each hard worker, rests their head.
And should the Queen,
Become useless.
Then those sweet little bees kill her.
And never look towards a God.

I like to write in free verse mostly, but am heavily inspired by Emily Dickenson, and tend to create my own rules and ideas as well.

More Than Just Words
More than sweet words, I cherish the people who are willing to show up for me. The depth of a relationship isn’t determined by how many times we say, “Let’s meet up another day.” Those seemingly warm words often go unfulfilled. Instead, it is the friend you don’t contact often, or even someone who lives far away, who quietly drives over the moment you say, “I’m a little tired lately.”

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
