Right to Left...

+

Life read from right to left today

As I held my hot coffee

and looked out the picture window

A hummingbird came into the frame from stage right

Green chested and hungry

it lighted on a few flowers,

One,

then two,

then three...

...and in this space of a moment,

into which was squeezed 
a million heartbeats 
and as many beats of his wings

he paused

to flash his emerald breastplate my way,

as if taking a bow,

before exiting stage left...

....We are but a breath

and then we are gone......

Make the Moment Count
