Help Your Heart to Sing

 Many More of Us Than You

We slither, we slide, we hide in the crevices

We hop, we jump, we disappear in a clump

We scurry, we hurry, we skit, we skat

We are trapped

We seek the shadows darker and yet, we expect to see you soon

For your shadow takes out the Light

In spite of our difference in size, we will surmise there are many more of us that you

 

Reputation

We come in your presence, we crawl on your arm

The Sound of us is not like a charm

We hum, we buzz, we sing

Some of us carry a reputation you do not care for

 

Precarious

We are small, we are large

And in most cases, we are in charge of our domain

But just the same if we wander out of our domain into yours just the same, that lane is rather precarious

For many of you when you see us, you say simply eww, go away

Do not come back upon this day

 

Just Like You

We come in a variety of colours, but many of them dark

And most times when you see us, you embark on sending us on our way

Unless of course we display a sense of beauty, we display a sense of joy

Only then will you employ a second thought

We were brought here for a purpose

Just like you

 

Look Different

Many of us prefer the dark

But some of us embark out into the Light

In spite of the Light, our exposure is great

That is why many of us in the Light move quickly, or gravitate together

For we know danger is near, for we truly hear

It would appear many of the senses you carry, we do also

The only thing is they look different

 

Hurry

We vibrate, we flutter, we scurry

Many of us are in a hurry

 

 

There are times we commune together

 

Smile

Quite your mind, sit awhile

Listen intently, smile

 

Communication Device

We too communicate through to you

You often consider the flutter, the buzz

Or the song as strictly belonging to us, as a communication device to us

My dears we the Insects of the Land, want you to understand, there is more to that sound than you realize

We too communicate through, to you

Most of you just don’t realize its intent

Messages are sent minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day

We are here to say it is not through lack of trying, it is through not only your ability to not only listen, but glean the possibility of an understanding

Now if the understanding is not landing in your knowledge base, be aware we also share information through telepathic sources

 

Resources

We like you, have many resources at our fingertips

Some of them you see visually

Some of them are microscopic and beyond

But they all belong, just like you

 

Invasive Species

Now many of you may refer to us as Invasive Species, as in coming from elsewhere

We are here to share with you a thought or two, many of your kind, will arrive to share with you, things that are unfamiliar to you

You have two choices, along with your voice

You can either learn more about us as an Invasive Species, or remain ignorant, remain divided

 

Many Version

This story is not one sided, this story has many versions

And there is a reason for our newbees to be here

Do not fear us, learn about what we have to offer

For we too are beginning to learn to adapt

You too need to learn to adapt, as well

 

Changes

As Mother Earth changes, as she will

You too need to adapt

We as well

 

Lighted Zone

Some of us pinch, some of us alight, some of us even bite

Some of us sting, some of us ring

Some of us move toward the Light in flight, we are drawn to it, we are pulled to it

And then again, some of us produce our own

For we are from the Lighted Zone

 

We Need to Live

We provide food for others

We eat food others leave behind

And when it comes to some of your kind, we seek out part of you

We too need to live

Some of us lift you up

Some of us pull you down

Some of us are just around

You get to know the time of year when we all of a sudden appear

You don’t see us in the cold, for we like you, follow through to stay warm, to stay cuddled up

 

Inside Insect Information

We know of the change in temperature, long before you do

We know of the coming storm, long before you do

We send messages through, long before you’re even aware

We share weather information among us

We may not have the World Wide Web, but instead we have the Inside Insect Information I I I

And try as you might, it is not there to cause you fright

 It is there to share among us, so we can prepare

 

Well Lived

Our lives may be short, but they are well lived

For we give our all to what we do

And when the shoe fits, we wear it

 

Will Others See You

How about you, do you give your all to what you do

Or do you even like what you do

Do you declare upon a stair, that you want to share, what causes you despair

Or do you declare upon a stair, that you surely do not want to share

For if you declare who is you, will others see you

Or will they ask you to hide away and share not

 

Role

Do you want to brought into the forefront, or do you want to be hiding in the shadows, where you are secure, where you know who you are 

We the Insects of the Land want you to understand, we get it

Each one of us has our own role

We understand that role and we make it our goal to fulfill that role

 

Share What You Have Learned

You on the other hand, many of your plans may fall flat on your face

And do you trace that misunderstanding as a fault of yours, or do you learn from it

We the Insects of the Land want you to understand making mistakes is part of life

We suggest to all of you, embrace your mistakes, learn from them

And if you choose to, share what you have learned

So that way when others attempt to discern which is the right way to go, you can show them your path, show them your wisdom

For the wisdom of another can help another to discover what might work, for them

 

Reality

We the Insects of the Land want you to understand, it is not what you look like, it is not your voice of choice

But rather it is what you do with what you have

Many of you have much, but you don’t see it as such

For all you see is other people’s reality, as something to achieve

But we the Insects of the Land want you to understand, that is their reality not yours

 

 

You Have so Much to Offer

If a mosquito wanted to be a bug, or bug wanted to be a mosquito, great changes would be needed

And their transformation would not likely succeed, in any shape or form

So don’t stand there feeling forlorn, feeling lost

At the cost of standing out, at the cost of being alone in the Light, we the Insects of the Land want you to understand, you have so much to offer, just as you are

 

The Importance of You

So be an insect for a change

Rearrange your life, skitter, scurry and hide in the shadows, and then again peek around the corner see if anyone’s watching

And when you see the coast is clear, steer in that direction

For my dears, we the Insects of the Land want you to understand, the importance of you is just that, the importance of you

So be you, celebrate you

Make mistakes, learn from them, and share

 

Journey

And declare you are on a journey, you do not know the end result

There will be valleys, there will be mountains

There will be open plains

There will be highs, there will be lows, there will be in between times

There will aha moments, there will be where did that idea come from

There will be times for quiet, times for peace

There will be times where you need to release

 

Release

Release what you may ask, release that build up of energy, release that anger within

There will be times for sorrow, there will be time for dance

There will be time for song, there will be time for dance

And there will be time to enhance your surroundings, paint a picture, change the furniture

Or enhance an article of clothing

Yes, my dears we the Insects of the Land want you to understand, enhancing one small simple thing

Can help your heart to sing

Allow it to sing that familiar ring of joy
