Hummingbird slips here and there seeking nectar from every umber shadow patch of scintillating light glistening leaf dancing ray of luminous sun across cerulean blue dome of sky
from the sublime subtle to gorgeous patch of dirt
from the lightly perfumed to dense forest of musky scent this vibrating and oscillating nectar seeker relentlessly drifts and dives ascends and stretches never futile always hopeful nuanced yet determined as with the human heart which seeks and finds droplets of nectar
extracted from shadowed garden
draped and dappled river
drone of sotto voce conversation
hum of distant winds nurturance received from the sun of encircling friends known
over the decades the rhythm of our days and nights dynamism of calm effort and rest
and the eventual surrender to sleep
to rise again to a welcoming dawn nectar which travels
reaches and settles in the heart touching healing soothing revealing that deep abidance letting go of the unnecessary that which is encumbering
oppressive nectar
golden of velvet viscosity
warming gentles our human inner landscape relief and release follows nectar seekers, we are
seeking golden rays of light so that we can drink from the flower so we can feel showered in that nectarean substance and doused in the honeyed river of
self-recognition
and illumination...
