Hummingbird

[thelastromantic]

There is no jewel of iridescence
Which, in happy suspense,
Can hold the air in animated colour
As does the Hummingbird
Drunk on nectar.

I have seen a morning dewdrop
A swollen shimmering tear
Reflecting the rainbow's colours
As does the Hummingbird
Drunk on nectar.

No fancy bird of nature's paradise
Resplendent in natural hue
Can paint the air with luminescent speed
As does the Hummingbird
Drunk on nectar.

Would I ever, in my wildest dreams
Find such a poetic love
Then would my heart flutter so fast
As does the Hummingbird
Drunk on nectar.

every year, we have several hummingbirds that come and stay with us for most of the spring and summer. pretty cool just to watch them. thanks for sharing.
