Flowers

Flowers in the garden
Orange
Pink
Lavender
blue
Yellows of all hues
Violet
More blue
And red
Inviting but not soliciting
Life
To be lived

Dragonfly
Dark and thin
Neon blue at its tip
(Who asked why)
Lights
On the rail
In front of my eyes
My place set
In the middle
Of a miracle

Hummingbird
Named for its sound
Two feet away
Straw in a pink flower
Hovers
With rufus colors
Aglow in the sun
Ever changing
Buzzing wings electric hum
Piercing me

Relaxing is impossible
In front of this creature
Whose body burns
So much faster
Than mine

Wonder
Puts this fire out
Then
Starts another blaze
