Hummingbird
This is a true
story of what happened with me that I tell here and share now with you. It was a
time of great turmoil in my life and I was having some difficulties.
Tiny, littlest mama, you visited me today.
Your vibrating wings an invisible image loudly hum their song to me.
Your stay all too brief, you delighted me.
Little did I know, so speedy and secretive, you built your
birthing nest just yards away. Frequently, and unknowingly
I would walk beneath your tiny home, fingertips above my head.
Oh, young sapling birch near waters edge, you bathe in warming
rays of morning sunshine. In your young arms you cradle, rock,
and hold secure such a tiny precious jewel.
Tiny iridescent jewel child, your wings not large enough to hum and sing,
you dart, and dance, and dangle before my eyes as your loving mother did.
Precious shimmering jewel smaller than my thumb, you vibrate with all the life
of creation
in your being, and drink from petaled goblets Earth Mothers' sweetest nectars.
The days have weaved a bonding web of friendship, almost mystically comfortable
in the presence of each other.
Your stays are longer and, together we speak. You grace my realm and I'm but a
humble guest in yours.
Each day, hopefully I quietly sit and wait as you faithfully return to visit.
Amusing me with your dance and voice, your wings now softly hum.
"Have you a message for me?"
My heart is heavy knowing that soon you must leave. Oh sparkling elusive jewel
friend, I shall miss you so. "Have you a message for me?" I pray the pathways
you fly,
have the sweetest bouquets.
...Thank you tiny brother for your loving gift, and the beautiful friendship we
share.
For the brief dance in the sunshine we had, your voice, our talks, and the
peaceful soft hum of little wings.
When little brother leaves this realm the Great Spirit will lift his little soul to the heavens and when you see a rainbow, It's all the Hummingbirds who have come together to dance again in the sunshine; and so, rainbow gets its colors and reminds us of Hummingbirds message -- Peace, Love, Harmony. This is the message my little brother brought to me.
