Presence (Non-TEF Poem)

Inspired by my encounter with a hummingbird

------------------



Come away, oh troubled soul,
From the pain and suffering you endure.
Let your dreams no longer haunt you.
Let your past failures cease to burden.
A flash of glistening plumage, and then you see me.
I am a simple creature, who worries not in this world.
And in a glimpse, I vanish before you.

Our chance encounter was not coincidence.
I have graced you with my presence.
A moment of tranquility as our eyes met.
And that was all it took.
A simple moment's flutter,
A glimpse of small, simple beauty,
And you were thus inspired.

We shall meet again, worried one,
Your oath has already been set.
All I would ever ask of you
Is an offering of the sweetest nectar.
And when you share your generosity,
So, too, shall I share my protection.
And thus your troubles shall be no more.

Keep your mind always looking forward.
Continue to take care of your body.
Lead your heart on the right path.
Do not lose sight of your goals.
Remain hopeful to the future.
And my promise will be kept.
You shall be granted peace and harmony.







I am always watching, brave soul.

Such a nice poem and no-one commenting?
Written things are a bit overlooked here, what a pity ._.
I love it. You seem to be a really sensitive person, Quad (:

Brave soul, lost spirit, be happy and follow the less-trodden path woven from thin air.

Quad, this is lovely.

Thank you for the comments!

Thank you for the comments! I realized I used some words two or three times, but I'm going to leave it as I wrote it. I was jumping back and forth writing the different stanzas on this one.

One more thing to note - each stanza is 7 lines long, since 7 is considered a lucky number. Eye

Just an update on this - I

Just an update on this -

I bought my hummingbird feeder but the store didn't have the nectar. Luckily, I found out you can actually make the nectar! It's just sugar and water that you heat up and let cool so it is slightly syrupy.

I'm making it right now :3

Edit - Nectar is made and the feeder is up. I hope they like it.
