Hummingbird Has a Message
Hummingbird has a message
Things aren’t as they appear
Hot lava on marble stairs
Man knows the end is near
A hole is in the floor
The case is not packed right
Hurry, hurry, time to go
Don’t want to miss the flight
The daughter leaves the pack
The mother watches with fear
Aperture click, perspectives switch
The pack is bad, no coast is clear
Hummingbird dips and dives
Fury boils, screams enter ether
The drain is clogged, the bridge is broken
Distractions nibble, gnaw and eat her
Then sparkling violet flowers
Cascade from the long black hair
Running fast and leaping far
Bionic energy in the air
One spirit in three persons
Find the baby in the brush
Flat bike tire, dusty road
Must go faster, in a rush
Road too steep, car too weak
Never ready for the journey
Lava’s rising, getting closer
Bend the mirror, twist the time key
Now you appear as you
But you also are in others
Woman, child, mother, daughter
Humming bird knows how to hover
Like dreams, art does not always make sense, except in some ways to the artist, who needs to express something, as does the dreamer.
