In the name of the Bee—
And of the Butterfly—
And of the Breeze—Amen!
–Emily Dickinson
Big ugly buildings don’t do much for me
Walking in the woods is my favorite show
The bee and the butterfly and the breeze
Dogs and leopards and bobolinks agree
Give me a mountaintop slathered in snow
Big ugly buildings don’t do much for me
No more bosses and timeclocks to appease
No one monitors when I come and go
The bee and the butterfly and the breeze
Hugging a rainbow – talking to a tree
Sipping on the sunshine – living real slow
Big ugly buildings don’t do much for me
Overcome by joy – overwhelmed with ease
Sing with the flowers – listen to them grow `
The bee and the butterfly and the breeze
Daydream and become everything you see
Take a deep breath – your body feels the flow
Big ugly buildings don’t do much for me
I’ll take the bee and the butterfly and the breeze
by Richard W. Bray
