Humming bird fly,
there is only winter here for you.
The year grows cold and the fires go out.
When summer comes,
your song will be the sweetest.
Your heart warms those around you.
Your feathers so beautiful,
showing your heart on your breast.
But as the winter comes,
we have nothing to offer one as beautiful,
one so small.
We bask in your song,
you lift us up,
you breath hop in to those around you.
Always drawing the venom from the crows that surround you.
Those black birds,
they envy your colours,
fearing that you are as treacherous as they.
They don't know that beating heart,
they don't know how strong and pure it is.
The peck and they squawk,
tearing at your soft feathers,
tearing at your beautiful heart.
And with each lie they tell the winter closes in,
with each peck they work at your strength.
This shallow heart is not enough,
not enough too keep away the winters chill,
not worthy of such beauty.
Fly humming bird,
fly over us all.
You were meant for the sun
and the winter closes in.
When the sun returns,
please remember this crow fondly,
for he will provide refuge when the days grow cold.
But do not dwell,
as he is still but a crow,
and can't share in your beauty,
only admire it...
Sing little humming bird
Fly little humming bird,
and show us the beauty that you have.

A great piece. As in life the crows among us will surely deavour us little humming birds. Hearts are usually eaten first by the hunters.
I'm looking at this piece and comparing it to our human behaviours. It seems to take on such a vast meaning this way.Again a great piece. |
