8 - Dreaming of Leaving the Beehive

Dreaming of leaving the Beehive Life in the hive was a lot of fun, For all the little bees when they were young; But as Humble passed the Pupa stage, He was told he had to act his age. It was time to find a job! Go! It was time to imagine becoming an Imago. He didn’t want to say goodbye to his youth, But he had a plan, so he needed to make honey. It was a plan that would work, he was sure! It was his plan and it was a plan he could stick to. He would get a job and move out of his home. He would bee a comedian! Wouldn’t life bee funny… Oh no… Humble had been chosen to become a drone; But never a clone! For as we all know, Humble was a unique bee. He saw his future away from the hive. There is a whole new world out there, Just waiting for me to bee brave and go and discover. He was only waiting for his time to fly. He had always wanted to fly like the others, Because he wanted to fly into the arms of his lover, But he could only ever hover. His life was quite nice, but there was a price; He could never go beyond the edge of the pines. The boundaries made him feel trapped And he needed to fly past his past. He needed to see the future. His wide open eyes and wide open mind, Needed to see what was out there; The love he knew he was destined to find. It was time for Humble to meet her. His wings had finally grown big enough… It was time for Humble to take off! It was time for Humble to learn how to fly… (C)2017 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
