    Nice collaboration the guys, and what I sense from this piece, that there is a nice link between two, in regard to the verses

    The collaboration of styles is very similar throughout most of this tantalizing flight. The initial theme has a gentle waft which painted me a soft butterfly type Hummingbird only to be clipped mid poem with a harsher tone of a bird, stripped of feathers? An interesting read well done guys!

    Intoxicated in flutter while dancing with the winds made
    me think of someone happily dancing intoxicated maybe even
    with wine glass in hand.

    Second stanza - carried this through but gave a romantic
    slant. I like to think that someone engrossed on the
    setting sun has romance in thier heart.

    Third stanza - Candles fading in her presence links in well
    giving the impression of glowing happiness more brighter than
    candles. Blowing them out implies a required intimacy

    Fourth stanza - I can still imagine our heroine dancing around
    in the moon light

    Fifth stanza - Perhaps her heroine is journeying to see her
    loved one as she finds smiles in the stars and the soft touch
    of the nights winds

    Next three stanzas shows her struggle against the winds and
    it becomes apparent that her struggle to stay upbeat and intact
    is not just during her nights journey but pertenant to her
    every day life.

    The last stanza - heading towards unknown possibilities only
    knowing that I am called to fly is a superb finale
    all in all a wonderful portrayal of a strong happy
    spirit happily heading out on a journey that will challenge her in more
    ways than she knows.

    Well done you two on a great collaboration

    Sounds like you are an angel flying far away to an unknown destination. The quality of feelings and wordings you have put in this is quite marvelous. I liked your journey throughout this poem.

    I'm sorry I don't have a title for nominating poems, otherwise I would have sent this poem forward straight away.

    Well done on this.

    This captures the moments of flight amazingly well. Almost as though the authors wanted to be such a bird, or have had a journey alike this one... Lovely Murphy and Mel

    Beautiful piece, connected to nature, and human resilience as well, as i can sense through lines. i can relate to that humming bird , as all poets can, as that bird is called to fly, we too are called to sing through our words.
