In the
delicate breeze a hummer sways on a bud-dappled branch to the soothing sound of
gently tapping bamboo tubes, and beneath a marbled sky of pink and powder blue
the scent of morning pervades the air with promise and for the moment, one
grandiose moment, I am supremely content.
As I’m dressed
in a red he can’t resist, the hummer soon alights on my shoulder and ponders
the words on my page, then perches hesitantly atop the pen as if, he too, has
something to say. Doesn’t everything in nature? I embrace the occasions to
listen, no matter how fleeting.
For all too
soon, as I drained my first cup of coffee the wail of a distant siren threatened
to shatter the enchanted moment, yet the hummer remained. Then came the muted
buzz of an electric saw (we are all
early-risers around here), and regrettably, yet most unavoidably, I sneezed (dang allergies!) and
the hummer took flight with the moment in tow. Aw, well. But I was left with a
line of a song in my heart “The feeling
remains even after the glitter fades…” ~ Stevie Nicks. Yes, the feeling remains!
Don’t you
just love a day that starts out great? I feel as if I can conquer anything and
so much more, I just had to share! What’s your idea of a great start?
