Hummingbird
ah, the nectar of the world!
she is in rapture
to drink of this paradise
to resonate, hovering
in a sea of bliss
a vibrant, tiny jewel
for this she exists
to taste the sweet elixir
quenching precious thirst
delicious drops surrendered
from open passion flower
delicately sipped
releasing Heaven's essence
