Hummingbird Fades In Raven's Wingless Memories

the flutter of little wings pulsating in a windless dusk as i watch the setting sun glissade across the florid sky its cerise glow reflecting prismatic burst of colors on this little bird as it sips the last of nectar before darkness arises my thoughts drifting into night's allure as the full moon rises above tangerine tipped trees the last fades of day flushed against obsidian skies my memories linger autumn-like falling like the mist of night my thoughts weigh heavy in this air i struggle to breathe within remembrance of your wingless flight that august night i lose myself within the expansion of time as day fades off like life in the raven of night August 8, 2019

Thank you so much. I love hummingbirds as well. My Nightly ritual is watching them go from feeder to feeder at dusk. :) hugs

they are my favorite bird and i am blessed to have them feeding off my porch, at my son's house i fed them often too and they would buzz in my face if the feeder got empty, mine are too shy to come close like his did.... hugs :) i will have to go look for your tyburn!

I feel incapable of intelligent comment as the skill you display in weaving these tapestries is far beyond my ken. I simply gaze in admiration. Wonderful. Best wishes, Gershon

Thank you Rick....i sit outside often, especially at sunset to watch the hummingbirds feed, i adore them, and just across from my porch is a tree, tipped with orange leaves, it's been that way all summer... :) hugs
