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.
