A Hummingbird

From left
                                                                                                                                      To right
He flutters in a frenzy;
Up
                                                                                                                 and down he goes,
As if on fire, and seemingly so,
If one glances at the jewelled breast
Blazing with fire.

He lives his little life in this flying frenzy,
Never-stopping, until his little flaming heart
Chooses to submit
To Mortality.
