She Flies

Big Sur hummingbird in flight

She Flies

8/14/09

The hummingbird

does soar

so free,

cannot be

captured, caged,

her beauty

radiates love

zestful living

brilliant color

wild expression

precise movement

catalyzing joy

to all

who witness,

are blessed

in sharing

same air,

creative moment,

without holding

any intent

toward keeping

such miracle

constrained, private,

rather, provide

perfect environment

for landing,

sustenance, after 

she flies.
