As regal as regal can be
Head skyward, whirring wings
In suspension, formed easily;
Melodic notes do ring
Come close, my wind shall dry your tears
Push forward all sadness;
Allay haunting unspoken fears
His absence breeds madness
Follow me, my friend, near and far
To lands you loved to comb;
For in the end, your guiding star
Will be where you felt home
The epitaph on mountain stone
Bears witness to your bond;
For all eyes to read when alone
With hope kinship be spawned.
“ Forever and Ever
This mountain shall be
Along side us
In Eternity”
THE HYMN OF THE HUMMINGBIRD - SYNOPSIS
The hummingbirds are plentiful at my mountain home in North Carolina. The hymnal whir of their wings seem to message a call to travel, reassuring me that in the end, they will always return with me to the place where my heart is home. There is a stone on the mountain I had engraved with an epitaph. Although meant for Ken and I, there is intent that all who visit and read this will also feel the same bond to this beautiful landscape.
