Hummingbird, hummingbird what's your hurry? Darting quickly through the air I can scarcely see you coming In an instant you are there Of God's creatures on the wing in the day or dark of night None so perfectly maneuver You are matchless in your flight Through time and space as if by magic how abruptly you arrive I try to keep my eyes upon you as you soar and quickly dive With the butterfly and moth and other insects great and small Among the flowers do you hover drawn by scent of nectar's call How I love to sit and watch you as you travel to and fro You have struck a chord within me and I dearly love you so Hummingbird, hummingbird I await you as the first light signals dawn I can scarcely see you coming In an instant you are gone © Mike Wise 7/14/16
