Hummingbird by Britt Warner

This is for all of you hummingbirds who are hurting. Who didn't want to slow down but had to. Who have needed time to rest and process and heal. Who are angry and tired and scared. Who are anxious/avoidant and stoic in your vulnerability. I see you, and you will always have a strong branch in me, your friendly tree. I love you all.

Lyrics

HUMMINGBIRD
hummingbird, you hover
beneath the cover of flowers and leaves
hummingbird, you wonder
what might be under the heart as it grieves

iridescent show of phony bravado
is wondrous to behold

you've left many a tale untold
you've left many transfixed
as you dart and you flit
you've left many a tale untold

hummingbird, you hover
around the center of chaos and flames
hummingbird, you wonder
if you're fooling us all the same

ineffective show of see-through bravado
is painful to behold

you've left many a tale untold
you've left many transfixed
as you dart and you flit
you've left many a tale untold

do you fear if you stopped to rest
you might confess it's all facade?
do you fear it's for the best
to keep the pain within your breast
as your tired wings beat
on and on and on and on?

it's tragic to behold

you've left many a tale untold
you've left many transfixed
as you dart and you flit
you've left many a tale untold

you've left
you've left
you've left
