The Butterfly and the Bee




The Butterfly and The Bee
  Their sting from such two worldly things


two lives,
sharing sky
crossing paths

never meant to be

Thus was the tale of
  The Butterfly and the Bee.

one industrious
  the other ornamental perhaps

one loyal,
  the other free

dedicated to one cause,
  both share one purpose

    even an entire sky.

the bee returns home, working into oblivion
  the butterfly to her own, but both of another colony. 

Her sting is carried in her transformation, and then her beauty. 
  His, in the industry of loyalty-

  one cause. 

The Butterfly, To Pollinate Life
  The Bee, to Pollinate his Queen. 
  He also has no stinger.  His is another. 

An absence.  An impossibility. 


But Just because

  Could never be. 

Can Never Bee.

  For He dies by the hand of mating. 

Swift through this life,
  perhaps they will meet again

  with a suitable capacity. 

This life, never meant for more..

than merely, that which it is.

  A butterfly Can love,
  but I wonder,

Can a Bee?
