Garden's Jewel

In the spring
I love to visit
A garden to the west
Magnificent colors
And beautiful flowers
Border the outskirts of it
Of all the beauty
The life it seems to posses
I can’t help but wonder
Where the hummingbird hides it’s nest

Away in a tree
The wings pitter patter
Beautiful emeralds’
Of feathers fly past
Darting from bush
In the morning sun
Enjoying the glory
God has undone
Wistfully past the old oaks limbs
Darting for cover
Hiding from the wind

Jewel of the garden
What wonders in progress
Magnificent glory
Nature at her finest
Tapestry painted
In every beat
Along with my heart
It will not cease
Flying with magic
That I will never know
Beautiful glory
in front of me
Began to unfold

In the spring
I love to visit
A garden to the west
Magnificent colors
And beautiful flowers
Border the outskirts of it
Of all the beauty
The life it seems to posses
I can’t help but wonder
Where the hummingbird hides it’s nest

Author's Note

And the humming-bird that hung Like a jewel up among The tilted honeysuckle horns They mesmerized and swung In the palpitating air, Drowsed with odors strange and rare. And, with whispered laughter, slipped away And let him hanging there.”
-James Whitcomb Riley Quotes
