Something...

...mojo, hummingbirds and you...

About You - Something

How often do you feel

motion in the air

when every thing is standing still?

Sweet words spoken;

hummingbird whispers to a flower;

and music is heard

when there is no sound.

And it’s you.

Around you    something

invokes a smile.

Perhaps it is a song beginning

some mystic magic mojo

that has wandered into sight,

and is plucking and fingering

guitar strings in a Western direction.

The vinyl spins its appeal,

heard riding an old blue truck,

windows down,

long hair abandons the wind

and you sing

those oldies everyone knows today.

But, there is more;

a deeper resonance and spark.

About you,

there is just

Something!

And it is delightful.

There are so many things about your poem I love, I don't know where to begin! The first stanza, especially, is such a unique & interesting observation, especially about hummingbirds . . . but could also be like a person, too. I have a long connection to hummingbirds & we'll be sharing that, bit by bit. I love the "song" parts becuz almost every time I write (& I see this with you, too), there's some certain song in our minds that bleeds thru into our message. Great alliteration + rhythmic phrasing: "mystic magic mojo" . . . The 4th stanza is another stand-out fave, reminding me of my country ways, as exemplified in one of my favorite stories of old (you know the one). I feel almost as if I could do a little humming around the place myself, after reading this *smile* Thanks for sharing.

I found this hummingbird connection interesting (Julie's Hummingbird used in your poem) and I tried to express this in those first few lines and then with the "whispers", thank you for seeing this... humming is good, and is part of the "delightful"... thank you "country girl".. there is just... something... ;0)

Your keen sense of observation in life is what makes your writing so interesting with imagery & feeling . . . (((HUGS)))

There's a sweet softness to this. Wonderful poem red.

This is lovely. Very tender and thoughtful. Beautifully laid out too.

for me, there is always music hovering...and almost anything anyone says to me in conversation makes me think of and often hum a song---those marks in time...those lyrics that bring back a specific moment also wait for another moment in which to hover.
