The Honey Pot Of Luck I keep it near to bring me luck
The Honey Pot Of Luck
I keep it close, this jar of gold
not for sugar, not for show
but for the way it seems to hold
a kind of pull the old folks know
They said, a pot of honey near
will draw in luck and keep it fed,
so I placed it plain, not out of fear,
but for the love of what they said
No silver coin or charm-bound knot
has ever worked as well as this
just warmth and trust inside the pot
no prayers, no spells, no promised kiss
I don’t believe in tales and stars
but some things work, and this one does
not magic, fate, or healing jars,
just something steady, just because it does
It doesn’t cure, it doesn’t mend
but draws the good and keeps it near
not as a saviour, not a friend.
just mine, and that is why it’s here.
I don’t expect, I don’t pretend
it won’t erase what I’ve been through
but on the days that will not bend
it holds its shape—and I do too
It hums with something calm and sure
like bees that know their chosen track
a sweetness deep, uncut, and pure
that winds around and calls luck back
And I don’t stir, I do not dip
I leave it whole, I leave it sealed
for fortune needs no fingertip,
just quiet hope, and what’s revealed
So if you pass, don’t mock or scoff
at what you see upon my shelf
the world’s been cold, the road’s been rough.
this honey helps me to get by with enough.
