The Blues-Bee
Beyond the pine trees, there lives a bee.
He lives alone in a place called Harmony.
He left his hive a long time ago,
When they threw him out for his heart was too cold.
He shivers, so he could never fit in,
With all the happy warm families.
So one day they said he had to leave
And he has never been seen since.
His time in isolation allowed him to decide what to do.
So he found himself a blue berry or two and now his fur is dyed blue.
He has no friends who are also bees.
He spends his time with worms and fleas,
Because these things they cannot fly.
Blues-Bee protects them from the things upon high.
They all exist together deep in the forest,
Beneath the darkest leaves.
Blues-Bee says he will never leave.
Blues-Bee has lived in the wilderness for such a long time,
That he can no longer remember what it was like in the hive.
He only remembers the day he left,
And all the goodbyes that they never said.
