Hummingbirds Wing...

When realities fall harshly
upon unbroken tasks...

Love whispers sparsely
spoken through masks...

When I need to get away
from the everyday thing,
I find refuge underneath
a hummingbirds wing....

Momentarily disappearing
within the fantasy of flight,
wrapped in bright plummage
moving faster than light...

Invisible vibrations abnormal to sight,
my refuge thing with a hummingbirds wing...

Oh wow Jay, I got a partial visual on this! :) this is filled with beautiful, serene thoughts. Very nice. I love the imagery because the hummingbird, such a delicate, amazing creature, and to be under the wings thereof must be a wondrous feeling my friend. Smile, as many thoughts fill me, I have found serenity in knowing that I am whom God intended me to be though self improvment, I will strive for always... just lovin' life! my best to you always dear one, Lucinda
