fluttered

© Dave Ahronian

I watch you as you sleep. the smile across your face.  watching from tomorrow since that's where I shall be.  protected by the distance, or is it tormented? the visions in your head are what I feel when i'm awake.  this thing we share, it's beautiful.  as the waves crash around me and I enjoy the smells of the salty sea, i catch a ride with the hummingbird who flutters by.  whisked away he takes me. he seems to have lost his way or perhaps had intended to come find me here.  the flaps of his tiny wings comfort me and hum me off to where we are supposed to be.  questioning the why is no longer relevant as we continue on this path to no where, the place where everything makes sense.
