Hummingbirds
Posted: March 28, 2019 Filed under: Uncategorized 3 CommentsThe hummingbirds are back
And all is well
They flew across the Atlantic with us
Years ago
They’d sprung from besides the Grand Canyon
They saw us through Bryce, Zion, Salt Lake City
Snow
Sunshine
They didn’t know
They travelled in a suitcase
Benign.
Months later we flagged them up
And they’ve floated serene
Meantimes
Above the Bay, spinning soundlessly
Morfa, Dinas Headed,
That’s where they’ve been.
Lately
We’ve been all at sea
Whilst they, dust dogged and long winter bedraggled
Were caught up in decorators detritus
Rested
Neglected and unseen.
Yesterday
Refreshed, rejuvenated,
Indifferent to all the noise and chatter of this troubled globe
We reinstated our duly mobile birds
Fee flowing silhouette
Shaded
Then sun burst on
Our newly pristine wall
As the chaos continues
The world may yet fall
But the hummingbirds are back
And
Just now
Our slice of the picture sits well
And that’s all.
