Bee and Butter

Bee and Butter

Coming away from the shore by the sea
The wind blew about a small honey bee
It tossed and turned the weak yellow thing
Until a flower grabbed on with a string

The bee was safe inside the sweet home
Loving the nectar, tasting alone
Emerging at night, leaving its rest
He looks for another place that is best

Searching for answers to questions of life
The small yellow fellow looks for a wife
A mate to enjoy and love in the night
Someone to hold him and treat him right

He searches for answers to questions that hide
Then suddenly spies a bright butterfly
Colors of black, red, green and gold
Shimmer and shine as her wings unfold

His heart does stop, wings freeze in the air
As he watches her beauty so soft and so fair
Shivers and shakes bring his heart to a start
But soon he sees her about to depart

He buzzes real loud, crying to her
Begging to see her, perhaps hear her purr
Quivers of nerves erupt when he spies
Passion filled evenings called from her eyes

The buzzing increases as he looks at her face
And holds out his hand, her wings feel like lace
Holding her tight, yet gentle and sure
He knows he has found the answer and cure

They take off in flight each one lost in thought
Wondering how their hearts became caught
Two different beings with sunny delight
Take off on a journey, one star-filled night
