“Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
~ excerpted from”The Summer Day“
by Mary Oliver
I will not falter,
Crater or fail.
I have big plans
I AM not frail.
I shall prevail.
~
I plan
To live big, know my mind, speak my truth
Love beyond limit
Be both proper and uncouth
I plan
To embrace opportunity, chance
Create family, joy, romance
I plan to live long, or perhaps, to live short
Really ~ who knows?
But regardless
I plan
♥
To embrace,
Knowing
I chose
This
Way
This wild and precious wonder.
No regrets

It was hot.
First date was at the ocean
Pacific
Newport Beach
Did I know then
The intensity?
What lay ahead?
Was in store for me?
Perhaps not ~ Not yet ~ But soon
Soon
I did swoon
Your intellect
Wit, wisdom
Gentle nature
Loving ways
~ And yes ~
Hungry gaze
Appealed
Still do.
I love you.

Beneath the sweet Acacia tree
I stood and listened to the bees
Content, it ne’er occurred to me
To be frightened.
The bees and I, we have a pact
They do their job, I do not act
In ways that negatively impact
The good they do in my garden.
I talk to them, they buzz replies
They pollinate, they land and rise
In clouds of industry toward skies,
Bright blue and welcoming.
We are a good team.
I AM happy.
And A Bee Haiku For You…

Be brilliant. Be bold,
Bouyant, benevolent, brave.
Be not benighted*.
*benighted ~ adj. : existing in a state of intellectual, moral, or social darkness : unenlightened.
I love the notion of resembling honeybees– pleasantly industrious, hugely and beautifully impacting the world, all that pollinating and honey-making. I love it a lot!
