rainbow of the sun

                         the wind whistled within the leaves

                         through the thistles purple pollen sea

                         I turned my eyes and blinked like wings

                         they buzzed like bumble bees in rings

                         the sacred hummingbird healing doctors

                         turning quick to dance like helicopters

                         yet quiet racing competition keeps cool

                         like the sunrays of dawn busy not to yawn

                         I held the fragile green throated bird

                         encouraging his flight hoping light learns

                         he placed his nest above my campfire stones

                         returning every evening to share songs

                         this dart like rainbow of the sun

                         hovering all around my joyful smile

                         I wish he'd stay with me forever
