Hummingbird, My Friend

When I hear your buzzing song

just a foot away

It makes my whole being light up

You’re playing with me, I know

And it’s as if

I could reach out

Touch you

But I won’t

Because you should always feel this free . . .

And I’m not the type to smother magic

You tell me stories

about a not so distant place

lush with excitement, rich in joy

And I can’t help but feeling

That place is right here

That place is right now
