The Hummingbird
“There is, for all beings,
a place in someone's heart,
a place on earth to land.”
Sample of the poem The Hummingbird by Sophie Roumeas
Painting by Martin Johnson Heade, Orchid and Hummingbird near a Mountain Waterfall, 1902
Act 5.
The poem The Hummingbird began as I watched in wonder a hummingbird flew by in the early morning in a California garden. I then remembered the predictive intention received from a shaman in Peruvian mountains, years before, he literally said to me "May you meet the hummingbird"...
At this moment in my life, it echoed my aspiration to transform the expectation and waiting for better days into creative projects that make sense for my soul and hope for others as well.
I wish everyone to meet the hummingbird of their soul.
The Hummingbird
By Sophie Roumeas
On the edge of the sacred mountains
in the old New World,
Medicine revealed to me
a memory to remember.
There is, for all beings,
a place in someone's heart,
a place on earth to land.
This place is revealed when the soul
is ready to receive
the energy of perfection—
a place where the self has only harmony
to evolve and resource in.
There is a being waiting for you,
somewhere,
and they keep calling you.
Hear the vibrations of the world—
they guide your actions
towards your destiny.
Don't think about time anymore,
nor space.
For a moment, leave
all benchmarks and ambition.
The Cosmic Clock
can only reveal itself
in the letting go.
There is a being waiting for you,
somewhere,
and they keep calling you.
It is said, “You will leave your father and mother.”
Will you dare to walk by yourself?
Time dissolves, the noise subsides.
In the silence, you finally hear
the voice of the way.
May you meet the hummingbird,
appreciate her philosophy.
She flies gracefully
between the winds.
She has known everything, every perfume,
all space and all time.
She shines with no limit—
this is the essence of her mission.
She is there to show you:
There is a being waiting for you,
somewhere,
and they keep calling you.
Once you meet,
the medicine of your union
will emerge in due time.
Thus, the legend of love on Earth
can perpetuate and welcome
more souls in search of bliss and home.
