A Hummingbird Came

A hummingbird came
he sat
on the the stair
his words were luscious
I knew he was there.

The beat of his wings
the flow of his heart
moved me to tears
I bowed down
I cried
I cried a lot.

For no more til spring
will I hear those sounds
as snow falls
baring down
on a land bleak
where
no hummingbird sounds.

Then
the snow will melt
the heavens wake
and
on his journey back
the hummingbird makes.

When I Find The Lost

When I find the lost that I knew
I’ll smile
And let my heart
Smile too.

Inside The Heart, Within The Soul

Going deep inside the heart
Within the soul
Feeling things I didn’t see
I didn’t know.

Crying words that have
Such knowledge
Words I need
And didn’t know I knew
Or would now know.

Breathe life lived
Deep inside the heart
Created within the soul.
