Humming Bird

The flitter, flitter of the humming bird,
Is a joy to behold,
Wings bating and flapping,
A creature unbridled with,
Any consequence to unfold.

This diminutive avian,
Who is only in search of nutrient,
Attracted by an alluring tinge,
Brings joy to my eyes,
If only for a brief moment.

Thank you winged friend,
For this brief elation,
You made my apathy turned to exultation,
Even that you must depart,
To your next destination.
