The hummingbird saga

Shadow Of The Hummingbird
The light was off to the right side of me.
The Angel had my attention first.
He appeared just to my left.
Forty feet tall his wings folded around HIM
like a man wears a cloak.
A Helmet on HIS head.
He does not need his SWORD.
The Sword was hidden under wings so nice.
The light was not from this world but
portal in the center of the universe.
The place eye want to go when leaving mortal coil.
Other worldly experience was natural unto me.
This mourning this very day eye did see GOD.
Inn the shadow of the hummingbird that winked at me
with wings beating imppossibly quickly so fastly.
The Spirit of the LORD who lives in every creature.
And loves us every one of us no matter what we have done.
He was in the Angel of the SON last nite that visited me.
And then in the hummingbird that winked at me again HE loved me.
Inn the shadow of the little thing is where eye saw my GOD.
We are all just living inn the shadow of GOD's SON.

The time seemed to stop at some greater insistence than myself
and eye began to look around for something found
a something overlooked a something missed
a something usually lost in the hurry hurry hurry bustle
of the rushing hurry up in a commuter day
The paddle wheel had stopped and time was gone
eye saw the world it seemed to disappear and then YES eye SAW GOD.
He reveals himself to us in everything we see
the EARTH and sky and all the living things.
Eye noticed the hummingbird at rest
the thing was profiling for me to get me to notice it
like LOOK at me eye am a hummingbird thing
and the wings they have
that go so fast and furious was not moving
that is what eye noticed and such a strange thing
and seldom seen a hummingbird at rest
and then eye remembered the poem that eye contrived
the shadow of the hummingbird now called Spirit Jesus
and then eye was doubly blessed because
the sun caught me and eye beheld
my SHADOW on the ground and eye could not believe my eye
for it seems that GOD is indeed in me and that has made me smile
and faith is better kept even for a little while
and GOD in Jesus smiled at me today in Spirit and in truth.

Shadow of The Hummingbird In Flight
The wings of this tiny thing beat impossibly
way too quickly moving in incredible formation
of an impossibility a motion like nothing ever seen by man
and eye have seen a lot of television way back when
and eye can not compare the thing to anything any thing
eye saw GOD again TODAY in the shadow land
between the living and the dead between my reality
and the way home in the landscaping
where the gardeners have imprisoned all the real flowers
this tiny part of GOD caught my attention
and then the game began
HE seemed to want me to follow him
he led me from flower to flower
and when eye paused as old men sometimes do
he came back again as if to say
hi its me this is just a test hi hi its me
the voice of all my love the Spirit of my GOD
seems sometime just to me to be in everyone
and every little thing at least in THIS hummingbird it was.

The Hummingbird: No shadow

Today eye pondered the wonder of a creature made of LOVE
a thing so fashioned out of stuff that's untold something old.
The scientists among us have catalogued every length of tongue
and just what it is this creature does but no one thinks of
Selasphorus platycercusas needing anything but love.
This mourning upon rising eye saw the hummingbird
He was in my landscaping not looking for his food
when every scientist will tell you that that is all they do.
He hovered and he stopped and looked at me, as if to say here ,
here, look OH MAN and see some just a LARGE PIECE
of God's LOVE, for eye HUM eye SING and as eye sing
eye eat HIS love. This was done for me before the SHADOWS
came from the rising of the sun. Today again and everyday
when the little bird will come, I was the LOVE
GOD has for everyone
in the Hummingbird no shadow.
