Hummingbird

Friday, July 20, 2007

Like a whisper in the soft wind.
Something that stays
Only for a moment.
Like a hummingbird,
Whose wings never rest.
So graceful and smooth,
As it darts through the air.

Like a leaf,
Caught by a breeze.
It struggles as it flutters
To stay afloat,
In something so ambiguous.
And it lasts only for the moment,
This gentle and cool zephyr.

Try as you might
To catch this in a jar.
Something so free as this
Cannot be contained.

I really enjoyed reading this poem. It is beautiful, expressive, and full of excellent similes. The language is wonderful and nice use of vocabulary! I would love to read more of your writing. I'll be reading more of your work :)
