Brimming

Buttery yellow lilies

glow in the sun.

A lime-bellied,

ruby-throated

hummingbird

thrumming the air,

slips its needle-like

beak into the roaring red bee balm.

Birds are whistling

their piercing chirps

and one makes a metallic

sound like a xylophone.

The morning breeze

floods through the open window.

I sit in meditation,

breathing, my energy brimming,

each cell of my body waking

up to the cool air.
