Hummingbird

how many times will the world come alive
will flowers open to the sky?
hovering points of an angular path
as drops of rain fall on the grass

hummingbird

you couldn't wait for the shadow to spin
to feel the sunshine seeping in
wandering out, you surrender your eyes
and watch the swirling waves of light

hummingbird
hummingbird

as sure as the boulder corrodes into sand
everything comes to an end
hurtling forth in a cyclical way
like only time can suffocate
