Hummingbird
the hummingbird had a choice
the alley cat or me
so it built its nest
in my balcony
shielded by a pigeon net
through which it alone could fly
with a brain to weight ratio
double that of humans
I feel truly blessed
that it chose me
I’ll not feed it though
for abundance weakens
and this lesson applies to me too
as gratitude replaces desire
in my tremulous heart
