Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋

Hum

Breathless Start --

Throbbing heart,
ruby-throated romance
hovers above the hummingbird feeder.

From a bay window viewed,

amid evaporating dew,
a field of daisies tremble
when summer breeze stirs.

Will you depart?

How we're apart;
my heart near yours,
separated by clear pane.

Hum, flutter --

I hear myself mutter,
don flip flops,
gather a picnic lunch.

Chase a dream?

I'm trapped in a scene
inside a foggy head
by this vision of you.

Hum, thrust  --

How you must
notice me, too, arriving,
vibrant, green angel?

I'm not whole.

Muse, heal a poet's soul,
given flight as morning yields
to a white sun burning.

A sky so blue,

I must join you
in the pleasant shade
of evergreen to write.

Hum, flutter --

Wings melt like butter,
fade to the backdrop --
a steadfast soul inspired by summer.
