Beauty rarely seen.
Human eyes are redundant here.
Microscopic beauty in all its glory.

HUMMINGBIRD
Hovering over the chosen flower
Up in the brilliant sky
Moving wings of enormous power;
Manoevering closer by.
In an instant making a dart,
Neatly, with precision!
Guzzling the nectar at the heart;
Bird scalpel! Bird incision!
Image of daintiness, yet so strong.
Renowned for the speed of wing.
Do you ever pause for song?
Do you have time to sing?
