PollenticksA Poem by Jeff OvertonYou were my honey bee I was your daffadil I was nestled in thick weeds Stangled until nector bled Unhappy in life until you flew by And softly fed You landed with such eligance And in that sun your body danced And those wings did buzz as you showed your love And drank from my elixar And in return you gave me life And drew a new picture Of what life should be and not what i had already lived So here i sit amidst these strangling weeds struggling to breath Looking up at the sun yearning to feel its rays on my face Yearning to thrive. Yearning to survive And break free from these weeds that have me shackled to this dusty place So i give you this gift I place it on your legs So you can take flight And spread me far and wide So i may thrive So i may survive
