HUMMINGBIRD LIBERATING MIND

Feathers glimmer and shine

As though covered in fish oil

I lubricate the brain

As I slip through the sky

With a frictionless flicker

My lightening wings

Brain waves rapidly fluctuate

Perfect balance held

Between left and right

Each wing a hemisphere

As they beat and beat

Accelerating into hyper speed

80 to a hundred or more

Beats per second

 

As though injected

With a sonic speed

Synapses bursting and exploding

Exponentially connecting

Blistering wing speed

I become electric

My circuits exploring

Rippling and flickering through paper

My brain comes alive

Flashing multicolored lights

Like the cities nights

 

But still spaces collect around me

As I am buffered from the world

Perfectly still though standing

On an invisible ledge

I hold my mind in place

While I hum in space

Head down I drop my beak

Into a funnel of concentration

As I tunnel into trumpets

Penetrating deep I flower  

In new knowledge

 

Polar aspects of mind

Released through coherent communication

Set free with coordination

I seek to marry chalk and cheese

As I hold the balance

Between two worlds

Flashing synapses firing

And combusting

Against pointed concentration

My mind juggles two *****

Expanding into their fullness

Expressing vibrant color

 

My slippery slender beak

Slips and slides in

As I flutter through pages

I discover new unexpected surprises

Problems solved, Startling adventures

And puzzles completed

I find the sugary syrup

The delicate delicious sweet spot

With the thrill of falling domino's

Spilling and cascading

Many ripples fanning out

Through my mind  

I find freedom

 

Each ripple massaging my mind

I am catapulted into outer space

I dance from fact to golden fact  

As I am propelled forward on stardust

My momentum shoots me forward

I bounce and bounce

My mind becoming unbounded  

I enjoy this great Hummingbird delight
