Hummingbird

I waited for you
You did not come
I watched for you
My eyes grew tired
I fell fast asleep

As I slept
There were dreams
Dancing through my head
Of you
Life and death

You were there
In all my dreams
The buzz of your wings constant
Your gleeful chirp between sips
Of life’s sweet nectar

I awakened from my dreams
There you were at my window
There you were in my heart
It’s all a miracle—
The dreams, life, hummingbirds

  2. Nice one, Don. May we all gleefully chirp between sips.
    Nice flickr version, too.

  3. what’s real? what’s a dream? what’s illusion?
    it doesn’t really matter if it’s beautiful like this

    Thanks Polona, and you’re right!

  5. I love my daily visits with the hummingbirds at the feeder I have placed for them. They come and take my thoughts away.
