May 2012
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.
