Anas’s Hummingbird On Our Patio in the Morning Light — Image by kenne

In the early light, the hummingbird pauses in air the way a thought pauses before becoming memory. Its throat flashes pink, then disappears again, as if the bird were deciding which version of itself to show the morning. I stand with my coffee and realize the patio has become a small stage, and this bright creature knows exactly when to arrive.

Hummingbirds And The Angle Of Light   3 comments

Anna’s Hummingbird, I Think — Image by kenne

Hummingbirds and the Angle of Light

The light deceives—
what was emerald becomes flame,
what was ruby turns to shadow.

You think you see the bird,
but it is the god you glimpse instead—
that quick shimmer between worlds.

They are not creatures of feather alone,
but of transformation,
messengers of the moment
when color forgets its name
and becomes pure presence.

Stand still,
and the air itself begins to sing—
reminding you
that beauty is never the thing seen,
but the seeing.

Sometimes you hear them

Their humming sound makes us look

Making eye contact.

Water

Summer days are hot

Several gallons each day

Go in the fountain.

The olive tree shade

The fountain and thirsty birds

Nature at my door.

Hi, little bird friend,

You fly nearby, dart around

Howdydo, fly on.

Expectations

Who are you
you who share
my very existence
with your expectations
sometimes calling them traditions
placing more value
on the worth of your expectations.
unwilling to understand
neither the what
nor the why
of my very being.

Who am I
I who share
your very existence
with my expectations
sometimes calling them logical
placing more value
on the worth of my expectations
unwilling to understand
neither the what
nor the why
of your very being.

Who are we
we who share
their very existence
with our expectations
sometimes calling them unconditional
placing more value
on the worth of our expectations
unwilling to understand
neither the what
nor the why
of their very being.

Who are they
they who share
our very existence
with their expectations
sometimes calling them laws
placing more value
on the worth of their expectations
unwilling to understand
neither the what
nor the why
of our very being.

Who are we
we who share
a universal existence
with our expectations
sometimes calling them just
placing more value
on the worth of all expectations
unwilling to understand
neither the what
nor the why
of a universal being.

Hummingbirds Know What To Rely On   1 comment

When we need
to make a very important decision,
it is best to trust the impulse, to passion,
because reason usually tries to 
remove us from our dream,
saying that the time is not yet right.
Reason is afraid of defeat,
but intuition enjoys life and its challenges.

— Paulo Coelho

Time passes too fast.

Like a hummingbird flying by,

it’s just a blur to my eyes.
