The Hummingbird Song: Poem

 

The Hummingbird Song

I.

Perched hummingbirds

Pass plants and shrubs,

Give out unconditional joy,

O’ Boy!

When hummingbirds leave,

The cold weather kicks.

Small, beautiful creatures

Come in small packages

As extraordinary masterpiece of nature’s

Small things

That has big meanings,

And steers big emotions.

II.

A tiny wingbeat,

A blooming flower,

A quiet morning –

Life’s smallest blessings

Are found in smallest moments.

I treasure the quiet morning,

And the petty things that come along

Like my coffee to warm and belong.

My heart is light,

When the sun is bright,

And the day filled,

With hummingbird’s song.

Delicate feathers, curious expression

Packed in the small bird

With large elephants like brain

That remembers every face and the flower,

Like a small flying computer

With perfect scheduling apps.

III.

For hummingbirds, my garden is a map,

Every flower is a stop,

And every feeder is a common destination.

Every touch of hummingbird

Has an extraordinary touch

That means so much,

Of my appreciation and admiration.
