The Sound of Silence

Nature's delicate fragrance.

Wings beat silent song

as the hummingbird hovers,

supping up nectar.

What in the Borders?!

[gram linski]

no quite the borders dude, but we do have humming birds and hi-fi, nae wi-fi as such, what can you do

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I thought you were in the Borders of Scotland but I have rarely seen a hummingbird there!

[Laura Kate]

Lovely imagery, so simple and delicate yet with the heavy notion of a slow beat of the wings. I envisioned this in slow motion. Best, Laura.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed the way to see this Laura, many thanks.

This is incredibly visual. Filled with wondrous beauty. The song as well an old favourite. Who could not like Simon and Garfunkel, their partnership and lyrics. Takes me back. The lyrics of that song say so much, as does this write.

"and the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls"

and the hummingbird flies backwards...the only bird that can.
i wish i could fly backwards....
go back to a time when....S&G were popular...and the sixties were in full swing.
double meaning i see to this haiku...

Love where it took you Jacob back to those days I too recall well. Decent times though not perfect. Many thanks.
