Wintering Hummingbird
Wintering hummingbird
A hummingbird hovers
in stillness of winter
when the sun deceives
on a frigid day.
Time stands still
frozen and wanting,
but the delicate creature
takes what it can
to sustain another day
of a front’s descent.
The jeweled vision
is a welcomed sight
for me in depths of despair
when I seek wellness of spirit and mind,
and acceptance of time and place
while awaiting spring.
