Dear Sister, please listen to Hummingbird’s song
For she likes to send you her medicine’s gift
She told me that to the Fifth World you belong
Of Spirit you’re made and to Spirit you’ll shift
Pure Joy is your song that you’ll sing to the world
Sweet nectar-filled words shall now flow from your lips
Within your heart’s cave waves of bliss get unfurled
The honey of gentleness from your soul drips
Duality’s conflict will be overcome
While Oneness embraces all hearts that you meet
The thoughts that imprison will soon be undone
Reality’s Light shall confusion defeat
Your mission is Joy and your task is to show
This Joy without boundaries dwelling within
All hearts shall rejoice in the Love you bestow
Serenity, peace and contentment to win
***
Serenity, peace and contentment to win

A gift indeed! Sure nice to see everyone sending their spirit animals to help our sister in need! It is a great honor and I know she is grateful for our helping hand. Bless the spirits for the kindness aho!

thank you, walking shadow ...
hummingbird is not exactly an official spirit-guide of mine, but this is the card I got when I consulted my medicine cards for tender wolf ... I don't know if she has read the poem, but I know that the message will have arrived to her in spirit ...
thank you again for this contest,
maa

Very sweet!
You have done it again, a great mirror-rhyme with a sweet and happy topic. This sounds more like anapestic meter again, the way the lines all end with a solid thump, but since they are all 11 syllables, we call it "headless".
Hummingbirds are wonderful little flyers, I'm always pleased when I see them. Good luck!

you have seen REAL hummingbirds ?
I am so jealous ... today I said to my hubby, that I would be able to move to a place where hummingbirds live, just for the sake of the hummingbirds ... 
and he replied : "yes, you would certainly be able to do so ... and when people would ask you why I moved, if it was because of a new job, a new husband or else, I would reply with a smile : "I moved because I wanted to live next to hummingbirds !"
thank you so much about the info concerning meter ... I was not sure if it would be dactyl or anapest, but now I can rename it correctly ... you're so precious !

Such a beautiful dedication to Tender wolf. Wow so full of wonderful imagery and love. Excellent flow and rhythm. I know that she will love this. Just an excellent write

thank you, theresa ...
I asked my medicine cards about a message for tender wolf, and this is the card that came up for her ... I smiled when I saw the hummingbird, I have never drawn this card before for myself ... so I was delighted to make its acquaintance in this way ...
