To My Sweet Honey Bee

Lost
I am lost
In your kind embrace
Where the stars circle around us
and the moon lulls us to sleep
where the world spins around us
murmuring colors as you speak
hymns and psalms
of how much you love me

Lost
So lost
In the sweet breath of your smile
Where my heart can lie calmly
and rest for a while
The burdens of the world
Fall with the rain
and we roll down
a lover’s plain

Lost
Yet found
Broken as I was
You loved me regardless
Held my heart tenderly like a dove
Filled with compassion and grace
You held us together
Lead me to my place
And forever will I stay
Gazing at your face

I am grateful for your presence
For your hand is always there
To help over any thresholds
And handle me with care

I am grateful for your friendship
Which has battled the 7 angry seas
And lies perfectly steady
Coming home to me

But most of all
Though I was lost for so long
Thought never to be loved
There you were
Ready to love all of me
Which is why I am grateful for you
Because without you
I’d be missing so much of me
Thank you
Sweet Honey Bee
