I have always loved these little birds. So beautiful.

The Hummingbird

A flash of red, a streak of green,

A dance of wonder, barely seen.

With every beat of tiny wings,

A melody of freedom sings.

Among the blooms, it moves with grace,

A gentle spark, a whispered trace.

The dawn alights on feathers bright,

A jewel that glimmers in soft light.

Its heart, a drum, so fierce, so small,

Yet carries life, the weight of all.

Through endless skies, it dares to soar,

A spirit bound by chains no more.

Oh, hummingbird, so swift, so free,

A timeless muse of poetry.

You show us how, through graceful flight,

To relax in moments of pure delight.

    Beautiful. I love hummingbirds. I used to watch them for hours on my parents porch where they had feeders hung.
