Set me free to roam amongst the verdant, verdigris canopy, flitting weightlessly between breaking buds, sipping nectar from transient blooms. Let me squander my days inspired by silken, supple wings On high, through veiled gauze slipping seamlessly, silently, unseen ghost. Watch me dive from heights with dizzying speed, apricot crop filled rising again phoenix like to soar aloft once more. Hear me whistling past, my speed subsonic, profile delta winged, prey fixed in topaz glare unflinching strike, death feeds life. |

What a dynamite and rugged poem, naturegirl. You strike a chord with every wanderlust who will come upon this piece. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. ~ At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. We are in a new phase of a very old war. ~ |

hello khatadin, yes I started thinking about the hummingbird, they fascinate me as they defy gravity and then I moved onto butterflies & birds, and a sort of theme life>death>life evolved although I didn't realise until it was written. Thank you for reading. |
