From The Hard Interior, Came The Honey…


Encased in a hardened cocoon,
A shell, so hard and so cold,
The embryo grows and swells,
To tell a tale that must be told…
A hardened surrounding all about,
And a harshness that shouldn't be so,
Encased, ‘protected' from hurt and pain,
So the embryo will grow.

And grow it did, it formed and breathed,
As time slowly brought forth the day…
That this seed was birthed,
And the hardened case was thrown away.
The leaving of the protected shell,
Brought about its pain,
For the seed from out of the cocoon,
Suffered, time, and time again!

It was nurtured and pampered and care for,
Then as it began its journey of life,
Little did it know about…
The trials and pains and strife!
From the hardened interior, came the honey,
So soft and good and sweet…!
About to embark on a wondrous time...!
With the world full of joy to meet…!

As the seed tumbled on through its journey,
The softness got lost along the way,
For the hardness that was brought about…
Took all that goodness away!
The harshness was now surrounding it,
It was battered, shoved and tossed aside,
Back to the beginning, surrounded by steel,
It couldn't run, and it couldn't hide!
                                                                                                                    
On it went not giving up,
And staying soft inside like honey,
It wasn't going to regress backwards,
Not for love, nor money!
To keep the sweet inside,
It strived and strived and strived again,
And kept the softness within itself,
For it had everything to gain!

And as the time passed it by,
The hardness got worse by the day,
But still the softness was kept within,
To be released one beautiful day!
Never to be beaten or fail,
To be good and true was the quest,
For the seed that suffered so badly,
Was determined to come off best!

The hardened shell was broken,
From out of the hell into the light,
The honey dripped so sweetly
A sweetness that's so good and so right!
Encased in a world of steel and pain,
A harshness that should never have been so…
But it happened, and you can't turn back the time,
The only way, is to let the bad go…

In the sweetness of the honey,
In the nurturing of the heart and mind,
In the gentle case it that held,
Is the truth, ‘that's' what you'll find!
