Honeyed Words
By GregoryTullock—hidethejade@gmail.com

Nectar 
Like liquified sunshine 
Golden, pure, sweet 
Gathered by the 
Industrious tongue 
Of the honeybee
Transformed through 
Apian alchemy 
And received by
The appreciative tongue
Of mine own
Tupelo
Sourwood 
Basswood 
Clover 
Honeyed words 
Spoken straight to my tongue 
Whispered to my soul
