Hummingbird

Sitting here under a sky so blue . Sitting here ,because I have nothing better to do. The hummingbird pauses before my eyes Looking me over then off he flies Another bird lands well within my reach What lessons is he trying to teach ,sings me his song It didn't take that long But ,nothing in the world felt wrong All the birds singing Even as they were winging Music to my ear Almost brought a tear Looked out upon the land As the wind joined the band Just listen to nature's song won't take that long Joined with your heart beat That rhythm joined becomes the treat

I really enjoyed your poem. Great imagery, I felt like I was sat beneath the tree listening to the hummingbird.

Beautiful poem, William! A sunbird (same as hummingbird) just built its nest in my balcony. Your words resonate

I quite like this one. Reading up on the symbology of Hummingbirds, this poem is worth its weight in gold. But who needs gold? right? Your poems are very thought provoking.
