Picture a late afternoon as the sun is fading and long shadows begin to appear. In this poem, a young woman is in her room when she receives an unexpected visitor.
The Hummingbird and the Cherry blossoms:
Outside my bedroom window
It is now late afternoon
The sky is losing color
A can see the evening gloom
A vase of cherry blossoms
And a little hummingbird
Who enters through the window
Its flapping wings can be heard
The hummingbird seeks nectar
It watches me carefully
The daylight loses color
Hummingbird flies gracefully
I stare at it with wonder
A beautiful sight to see
Can that little hummingbird
Be a reflection of me?
I like to walk the forests
See the sunset of the sky
And just like that hummingbird
I am wishing I could fly
The nectar I am seeking
Is a gift from up above
A very special feeling
The emotion we call love
As I wait for my lover
The wine of passion, I seek
Waiting for him to be here
His love in my heart I keep
The color softly fading
The hummingbird flies away
Just like the cherry blossoms
He will be with me someday
And now that the little inquisitive hummingbird has left her room. The young womand smiles to herself and must now re-arrange her flowers again.
