Oh Hummingbird so rare hum
a tune for me delicate and fair 
beauteous as you creating
sample gentle breezes by
pettiness expanding to a life
of wholeness fluttering vibrant
melodies staffed in goblets of
succulent nectar fitting midnight
enriched sonata

Hummingbird responds to the
lending of an ear for escaping
those city barriers by letting
heart flutter with the steady
rhythm of a whip-poor-will
calling from home in a valley
on a long summer night
for the blending harmony
from night sounds carrying
very exhilarating vocals
prevailing against those
dreadful ominous deafening
city sounds

As I awoke thru hopeful 
monarch eyes of a butterfly
I had of my sweet dream
confirming that I had been
to the valley that night, back
totally refreshed enforcing
that I will return again and
again renewing seminal 
wonderment of night visions
