Turn the nectar into honey

 I love flowers

and I stop to appreciate them every time,

I take mental photos of their colors

and take deep breaths to absorb their perfume

I used to be called a butterfly 

but now I know I am a bee,

that insect I used to fear

I used to void because I was scared

to get an anaphylactic shock

I was scared to be stung,

and died

I was scared of the unknown future,

I was scared of bees.

You open my eyes to see their beauty,

to find them harmless,

to stop the fear.

You helped me to enjoy the flowers deeply

in all their complexity

and to turn their nectar into honey.
