Fly with me and watch the Spring buds unfold to such beauty.
Fly with me to feel the warm breeze tickle your delicate skin.
Fly with me to listen to the melodies of beetles click with in harmony with my beating wings.
Fly with me to rival in the glorious songs of cascading waterfalls in the distance.
Fly with me and become enraptured at this nature cosmos we all live in.
Fly with me to inhale the intoxicating sweetest of Wisteria and Chinese hibiscus.
Fly with me and fill your soul with the purest of calming nectars.
Fly with me and let my sparkling eyes be your guide.
Fly with me to embrace fully what it feels like to be alive.
Fly with me!
Fly with me!
Fly with me and let this little Hummingbird set your free.
Thank you for reading. The ai artwork you see here is was created with one of my Hummingbird photos that I was able to use as a starter image.

A Flower Song
Apparently the Aztecs, Toltecs, Chichimecs and other Mexica were crazy about poetry. Despite the book-burning, slaughter, and epidemics that characterized the early stages of the Spanish conquest of the empires of Mexico, some hundreds of poems from the height of their tradition come down to us in Classical Nahuatl, preserved by Nahua and Spanish scholars of the 16th century. One of the most famous poets, Nezahualcoyotl, was a sage-king who opposed the cult of human sacrifice associated with Tezcatlipoca, God of the Smoking Mirror, and favored Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Flowers and feathers were the favorite offering of the Plumed Serpent. Moreover, flowers and feathers are a metaphor for poetry. Individual words, scattered petals, the down of tropical birds. The temples of blood sacrifice could be transformed into temples of flower and song. A sublimated offering to the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Sky encapsulated in the Classical Nahuatl kenning for poetry: in xōchitl in cuīcatl, meaning, "the flower and the song." The following poem is part of a longer work, and is in a state of flux, so take the waters as they flow:
