Laurence Overmire - Ode To A Hummingbird lyrics

Light shot through diaphanous wing Fifty beats per second Its long beak dipped in the flower of Life's sweet nectar Too fleet to see without an informative eye A blur in the green gasp of forest needles Yet when spied, delight The happenstance of cat's catching Fate's vivid colors dancing In the rainbow shade ‘Twixt day and night.
