Her Release

She spent her days languishing in sorrow's womb
a simple soul of plain features, but a heart so pure and passionate.
Her only joy came from feeding hummingbirds
in the garden of the estate where she worked as maid to a tyrant.

Each eve she would stroll out to watch them
speaking her heart, letting the sadness flow across the air.

Then one night her drunken lord found there
in rage in started to beat her while she pleaded and sobbed for mercy.
Hummingbirds flocked around the man pecking at his eyes violently
until he lay on the ground bleeding and unconscious.

Fairy spirit of the garden suddenly appears waved her dust on the girl
transforming her to new creation where she flew to where tears are no more.
