When Hummingbirds Pause
Nature Renews
When manic relaxes a moment
and frantic finally slows down
When havoc has pause to rejuvenate
and crazy takes a break and sits down
When slumber softly serenades silly
and chaos carefully caresses serene
When the hummingbirds find rest from it's humming
in the stillness that comes from between
When fine fuzzy feathers cease flapping
reasons to rest make their way back around
When silence truly is golden
needs are met, without making a sound
When peace packs a punch propped in repose
lounging from their beaks to their toes
Then you know slumber came to bring solace
nature's way to restore and replace

Simply beautiful. As pastors who have been told throughout our ministry that we need to keep Sabbath, that we are to take two days off completely every week, but are still expected to complete 70-80 hours of work in said week & be on call at all times, I think every single last damn one of us should have this posted in every office we frequent or door we pass through. Thank you for writing this. It's one of the best things I've read all day.
Who said there is no such thing as magic?
This is excellent. Love it.
This was lovely!
Love hummingbirds so I definitely had to read this! This was so well done! You really captured their essence and delivered a calming and pleasant poem. Loved it!
