HERMIONE THE HUMMINGBIRD’S DREAM

‘I got a bird that whistles. I got a bird that sings.’

Was it the Mayflower she sailed
When was heard an unfamiliar call?
Hermione’s song was innocent no more,
Having tasted the waters for her kind,
No more in the heartbreak spellbound.

The chain is broken -
All is absent thought of her -
The door of the cage has opened.
The human hummingbird
To the delight of all has flown.

Hermione sings of the freedom
Nowhere to be seen
But in her dream
The feather-winged woman
She believes herself to be

Making her way in the universe.
Now the wild-minded heroine
Spinning over oceans.
Hermione on the horizon,
Rising as the moon.
