Hummingbird

caught in a moment of time

this vision of beauty

paused in sheer motion

 such silent serenity

for such a vibrant bird

so tiny in stature

feeds quickly while on the move

instilling much rapture

rich florescent colours

shimmering in the light

while wings hardly visible

beating so fast in flight

with a long slender beak

to explore for nectar

found deep within the flowers

this elixir collector

darting between blossoms

with wondrous beauty

captured in a single moment

this humming bird's on duty!
