Hummingbird Poem by Jay P Narain

Hummingbird, could I fly like thee,
relentless in your endeavors, could I be persistent like you,
Need no rotors and propellers, you hover better than a helicopter,
Your silent flutter is such a mystery, it defies the science and gravity.

In the early morning, the sunflowers greet the sunshine with warmth,
The birds of paradise look at the sun hypnotized,
You drink the nectar of sunflower in flight,
Your passionate kiss on the beaks of birds of paradise arouses my sensuous dreams.

May it be the sweet nectar of rose, or the fragrant juice of jasmine,
you drink each nectar with passion and stride,
You hover and flutter, rest on the stems, roam over the flowers of your dream,
Unlike bees, you are so tender and harmless, you can be watched forever it seems.

You wander all over the garden, kissing the marigold, and daffodils,
You collect the nectar and fly over to your nest,
You feed your sweetheart and young ones with your collected sweet nectar,
You keep the nature thriving in perpetuity for centuries to come.
