A painting by the artist James Foort called: If I Were a Hummingbird

If I Were a Hummingbird

If I were a humming bird, a red breasted humming bird
A yellow winged red breasted humming humming bird
A humming bird topped at the head with golden blue
A blue blue head, a head of golden blue loving you.

Would you come come come then come away with me
If you will I will carry carry carry you carry you away
I will carry you away away to my soft and secret bed
To feed you golden honey, golden golden honey
To feed you golden honey from my lips red red.

I will find the golden honey, the golden golden honey
I will find the golden honey in the golden golden tips
In the golden golden tips of the yellow yellow flowers
Softly yellow yellow of the yellow yellow flowers
Flowers streaked with red streaked with golden red
Set deeply in the middle of the blue golden middle.

I will sing sing sing to you my soft song of love
My sweet sweet song my song as sweet as honey
Sing my sweet sweet song my song of loving you.
My song as sweet as honey my song of loving you.

(since put to music)
