My Sacred Life - Day 19

Greeting the morning

One of the things I love about my job is that it's tucked away near some mountains and trees. I usually take my first break to catch the sun as he begins his journey.
This morning I spent a good portion of it watching three hummingbirds feed, fly and play. I rarely see them together and two in particular seemed to be playing tag. It was a beautiful way to start the day.

Hummingbirds - Venus Hum

some of my favourite colours in the world
beat against my eyelids
with the blues of green hummingbirds
some of my favourite colours in the world
beat against my eyelids
with the reds of pink hummingbirds
blue moon, so white
so scared to come out tonight
it's too dark for him
he's just a boy with a man's grin
crane and the swan
wingspan across lake's silver light
the ivory night
some of my favourite colours in the world
beat against my eyelids
with the blues of green hummingbirds
some of my favourite colours in the world
beat against my eyelids
with the reds of pink hummingbirds
godiva girl
swimming in chocolate
winged foil heart cardinals
oh, but february stopped it
red bird scared white
she's just a girl with a woman's smile
crane and the swan
wingspan across green apple ponds
and red apple skies
some of my favourite colours in the world
beat against my eyelids
with the blues of green hummingbirds
some of my favourite colours in the world
beat against my eyelids
with the reds of pink hummingbirds
with the reds of pink hummingbirds
(hummingbirds...)
i want to be mean
i want to be queen
i want to be marvelous
paint me the colors of...
some of my favorite colors in the world
beat against my eyelids
with the blues of green hummingbirds
some of my favorite colors in the world
beat against my eyelids
with the reds of pink hummingbirds
