The Night Light

A light so strong

but gives you no sight

A darkness so bright

still there is no form

imagination is all there is

until morning beget

everthing ahead of me,

as if ever so on the road"

Screened Silohettes

The Hummingbird feeder was a buzzing with action

from the Ruby Throated Hummingbirds feeding hard

for thier migration south in the next few weeks.

Trochilidae

                                                               The Hummingbird Family

                                                                A route of evanescence 
                                                                With a revolving wheel;
                                                                A resonance of emerald,
                                                                A rush of cochineal;
                                                                And every blossom on the bush
                                                                Adjusts its tumbled head,
                                                                The mail from Tunis, probably,
                                                                An easy mornings ride.

                                                                ~ Emily Dickinson
