In my sleep I see a hummingbird Initially it seems a bit absurd However it to me it is speaking Of a peace that I have been seeking As it hovers over the flowers so peacefully It seems to have a message specifically meant for me To what end I cannot tell Every emotion begins to swell Stopper of time Is this my moment to shine? Nectar taken in order to nourish Will this flower continue to flourish? The message it’s trying to tell me has me in a trance It is not here without happenstance Is this dream my new reality? One can only hope to see Yet to be here only for the here and now Perplexes me somehow Stopper of time lands on my window sill Happiness, peace, contentment if time stands still.

Hummingbird's Message
Youth of today are yesterday’s tomorrow, So many tales of distress and sorrow, How do we save them from a path of destruction? If we ourselves reek of corruption. We say one thing, and do another Lest we realize, to some we are as important as their mother In spite of all they come to us each day Their ears listen closely to every word we say But do we hear them??

Do We Hear Them?
