Humming Bird Wings

In a moment of a second

Lingers the sweet smell of nectar
Observers cannot see the scent
Various particles are too small
Everything microscopic to our eyes

Young hummingbird wings;blur of color
Over a flower, no thorns to demise
Use your quickness, survive all things

only wish to hit pause
see humming bird wings

The moment describes it, how the hummingbird darts in from nowhere, suspended, then gone. Love it. Congrats on the selection. daver
