Rainbows In Flight - Revised

Take wing upon a hummingbird To mountaintops amid the pines Down rugged trails to waterfalls Sip nectar sweet from columbines. A song so soft to soothe my soul A frantic dance to stay in flight Oh beat my heart to match the wings Gild my spirit with rainbow light.

Beautiful, Lena! Those hummingbirds do seem to be performing "A frantic dance," don't they? My neighbor's yard is filled with hummingbird feeders and the birds flock to them each day. Your poem is so lovely; I'd like to share it with her if it's okay.
