When time is busy making things be
it’s like it thinks I’m a worker bee
in flit here and there without any care
as to when the honey appears.

But I taste it now so deliciously sweet
so good for me and the moisture runs free
to digest and imbibe the all/everything
of what will finally be.

And the seer in me says wait till you see
there stands a jar of sealed-up honey
because time is busy making things be
and you must flit here, there, everywhere.  

So there, that’s that, I’m a bee in a flit
touching on this, touching on that,
and sometimes a back, shoulder, an arm,
to find the worthwhile inside.  

Yes/no/maybe; you know how bees hover
until there’s a rush to return to the hive
and lay the foundation of what has to be
before it is lost in the wilderness, see?

And to be like a bee with a seer inside
makes of the flit an arduous task
but it knows to fly, hover, and touch
until time has finished making things be!

  Better than a flea in a fit because flits are so much more fun than fits.  Thanks, Maureen.

Your creative pause is highly appreciated, dear Helen! And I loved this much ... and yes "time is busy making things be", trust.

Very beautiful!

Love,
Margherita
