hummingbird hush
soft feathers fade to dusk light
little voice turns
accent slips through quiet sky
thoughts i gathered
start to melt like sugar snow
they twist, they spin
finding gentle new refrains
raindrop whispers
tap the glass and slip away
who i once was
loosens like a ribbon bow
night folds me slow
a shy new self waves hello
moonlight tiptoes
peeks inside my open palm
pebble of breath
smooth and cool beneath the hush
shadows stretch small
yawn into softer corners
clock ticks kindly
each click a tiny heartbeat
leaf outside nods
silver edges kiss the dark
i let go more
threads of old me drift like dandelion
new me giggles
barefoot inside the quiet
sky keeps blinking
one slow star at a time now
i bow gentle
and hum the changing tune home
