Hummingbirds Fanciful Flight
By: Noah Eaton
2/20/01

Gracefully
The little hummingbirds fly
Sucking the wild honey from the beehive
Drinking the marrow from the soft lips of magnolias calyx
Nieces and nephews of the sprites, chanting lyrics of all nature
Prophets of wild heaven, messangers of earthly love

Darting
To and fro, down from the timberline and through the hummocks
Flocking in swarms together, kaleidoscope lassos gyrating in packs
Swimming through the azure skies, darning canopies quilt
Small filigree kites brushing against the misty parachute of these green rooftops
Threaded cobweb wings speckled in the splendor of the entwined floodlight

Swiftly
These givers of nature flutter
Giving eternity’s sap to the myriads of thirsty peduncles
Bleeping out green acres composition to all living creatures
All awakening from the long winter sleeps, roaming the shoulders of the wilderness
Stampedes, murders, schools, parties invited at Mothers Reunion, hollering in unity

Unfettered
Free of incarceration, free of corruption
Trailing behind the ebbs of incarceration, scouting out the dusk that follows
Cycling trains of time pass on by again and again, only they remind that fact
Speaking times words as Dusk closes suns louvers over, welcoming night
Bowing to the lively flock, hiding under the canopy

Peacefully
The hummingbirds retire in the cypress green
Rocked gently in the cradling branches, in the warm knotholes of the trees
Sipping away at the sweet residue left behind inside
The robles and the sycamores carry them in shagbark laps
As the evening winds seep through the peep holes, breathing winds of wisdom

Gracefully
The little hummingbirds fly
Flying together, givers of all that’s pure
These wondrous creatures welcomed to our eyes
Drinking from the buttercups of creation
Making hummingbirds fanciful flight a beautiful sight to behold…

Oh, Noah, what a beautiful poem you have written here.  I wish I could live like the butterfly, stress-free and away from the corruption and madness.

Noah your writing is so imaginative and clearly from the eyes of someone with clear vision. This was simply beautiful Noah.
