Notes About The Poem

Awed Delight

  
"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.
