Whimsical little Humming Bird

Once, I was on an evening stroll. The wind was brisk but gentle, and the smell of spring was in the air. The sun was about to touch the horizon so I figured I’d walk down a familiar beach pathway to catch a glimpse of the sun setting. It was rather clear skies, only a few blotches of pillowy clouds, I was certain that they were to show some beautiful colors.

With my headphones on, as-well as my vans, I headed toward the ocean with a coconut water in one hand.

I make my way, away from the buildings, where I’m greeted by a sandy path and green luscious plants.

The clouds, now pink, the sky now orange, the rhythm of my feet, move with the chorus.

Suddenly, I have a feeling to look up, as I had been looking at the path in front of me.

I see a humming bird, hovering along with me.

I cant help but stop, as I notice it’s pace, and as my momentum dies, it flys in front of my face.

My breathing had stopped, I removed my head phones from one ear, the vibration of its wings, matched that song that I hear. For a moment time stopped, as he hovered in place, with peachy colors behind him, and stars glimmering from space.

The waves of the ocean even seemed to slow down, I didn’t notice the moon was full, but I’m completely aware of it now.

As fast as I noticed, the little thing zipped away.

Leaving me with a sense of wonder,

And love for today.
