Hummingbird



The hummingbird thumbs
A flower of thought
In its tongue
Of Indian ink

It sips and spills
A thousand souls
Before it spills
Its own,

And piercing the wind
Like a mountain peak
With the weaving
Of a soul to keep;

This little bird brings us
Sweet pressed blooms
To incense us for hours
In the glory of love

The humming bird hums
This beautiful song
Right in to my soul!

It stirs up emotion
Beautiful,
Untold...

(((Hugs dear Heathcote, for a very poetic piece of poesy!)))
