Mindfulness

Intersection of sword and floral stem,
a hummingbird’s beak, glimpses 
unforeseeable cross.

Love hummingbirds. One of the great flying delights of gardening. We all have our crosses. Well done. Thoughtful write.

Dear Kim, this little kimo feels like a moment caught mid‑breath. It’s such a graceful crossing of danger and beauty, all held in that hummingbird flash. Really lovely work. Blessings, Daniel

This is a stunning kimo! The vivid juxtaposition of the sharp "sword" and delicate "floral stem" beautifully captures the striking precision of a hummingbird in motion. The concise, three-line structure perfectly mirrors the fleeting, mindful moment of the title, leaving a powerful and lasting impression with that "unforeseeable cross." Truly exquisite imagery!❤️
