class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sounds like buzzing bees<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feels like a endless cycle of chores<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But only when it gives, you are

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But hiding in plain sight<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To give is to get<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet to give it takes a lot<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giving can be a solely selfish act performed with a strong intention to get<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the value of giving stays<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can evaluate intentions separately<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unclustered from each other<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prevent the rot from spreading<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grade the intentions<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From best to worst or vice versa<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not wasting anything<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compote for the mushy ones<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lunch with the taut ones<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019ve harvested abundance<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intentions can be well put to all kinds of use<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Focus on the outcomes<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actions<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actions, and the actions alone can put abundance to full fruition<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only if we let them though<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can we let them?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can we move with the abundance?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take it all in and understand abundance?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would it require smelling like rotten fruit?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sounding like a buzzing bee?<\/p>\n<p
