In a Circle of Life

Black beak pointing direction Sky

Tail gauging air

Wings fluttering on high

It's got prize in its eyes

From take off to arrive  

Fly little Birdie

Ride the winds of your heart's desire


Black Beak focusing freedom’s alive 

Chart a Course of survival 

One day we'll shall die

Smell the scent of the World

Watch nature unfold

Fly little Birdie 

Go humming from Flower to Soul

Hummingbird's can be captivating and fascinating, and stir one's muse into a write. I've never seen one other than when feeding, hovering in defiance of gravity and it is an awesome defiance. Your write is on point, stirring hummingbird wonderment in me and others. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

The freedom to fly, truly makes one feel alive. The hummingbird, certainly is one of God's amazing creatures. It is the circle of life, to live and then die. Your thoughts lift my heart. ~ Brandy

"ride the wind your heart desires" is for sure the best advice of all, as "one day we'll all die." Sage poem, well written. There seems to be a urgency to "go humming from flower to soul" and I understand this.

Your poems Arturo are all straight from the heart. Yes, we will all die one day and the truth hit me on Wednesday night when I landed in hospital with food poisoning and my bed was between two lovely but very sad ladies who were both dying with cancer. Going to visit them today! Poetry wishes, Jennifer.
