A Very Special Hummingbird

 

A beautiful mind, gifted 

awareness at a very young age

using her wisdom to write

and explore her dark and her light

shutting her eyes as her world dropped dead 

 

A romantic soul, yet unable to accept the rough

and why should she? 

having chosen a bird, herself a soulmate or crow? 

after all a mind can open to a heart in love

or can simply turn black? 

being carried over the threshold once was magical

but thereafter being dropped on her head?

because seemingly the love had faded and died

maybe her true heart was with Dylan? 

never truly understanding this, not even her?

 

Bringing her to a dark and miserable space

which others refused to see?

some calling her clinically depressed?

isn’t that what happened to Van Gogh too?  

all he ever wanted was to be discovered for his talents?  

some poets are born to crawl some are born to fly

and this girl had wings and she knew how to use them

 

It was this that kept her roaring through the skies

I believe with all my heart that on some days she did fly 

way above the clouds

to wish that most famous character known to man

a great day? some would even call him God

she had wings and she knew how to use them

I imagine she used to meet the Angels too

sitting having afternoon tea and a table cloud 

no one but her and the Angels 

who brushed her hair and sang her lullabies? 

 

all she ever had to do 

was close her eyes and the world be dead.
