Bird Hummingbird, Art, Abstract, Watercolor, Animal

"Be happy in a moment and live in a breath . . " _ by Constance ________________
It happened on a walk, it was a lovely summer day; and I had stopped to rest when suddenly, a multi-hued hummingbird landed on my hand. He sparkled in the sun, it was amazing, fantastic, and so awesome; he held on with delicate feet calmly, his wings did not flutter. We shared a divine moment, and I felt overwhelmed. I have never forgotten that fleeting gift, of a hummingbird; landing on my hand, and those iridescent colors. ______________________ November 23, 2021 Poetry/Free Verse/Awed Delight Copyright Protected, ID 11-1409-156-23 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Wonderstruck sponsor, Robert James Liguori, 11/23/2021 First Place

Hummingbirds are simply amazing, and I do believe they carry messages from those who have gone on before us. That hummingbird lit on your hand for a reason, dear Constance. Thank you for sharing.

A lovely rememberance of a hummingbird moment; when the two of you were one with the Creator. Beautifully presented in this lovely poem. Thanks for sharing the moment with us, Constance. My wife and I love hummingbirds and watch them in the Hibiscus in our back yard when they migrate here to Texas each year. Have a Happy Thanksgiving Constance, One of your poet friend, Bill
