Hummingbirds and Hibiscus
~*~
Beautiful flower, such heavenly petals
Pristine perfection flowing from it's core
Tiny hummingbird slows silent and nestles
Sips of luscious nectar 'til it can no more
This beauty then curls as nighttime settles
Unfurling in the morn for us to adore
With finesse Mother Nature carries on
Blessing us with much joy, hither and yon
