The Hummingbird trolls
looking for the sweet taste
of nectar
the vibration
of its’ beating wings
keeping rhythm with
its’ beating heart
a group of Piping Plovers
walk quickly in unison
across the sand’s surface
their nervous movement
hurried and rapid as
a flash of light
a wave crashing
on the shore
creatures reminding me
of my own beating heart
that nearly betrayed
given a chance to beat again
keeping time with each step
so I can once again see
a Hummingbird and the Plover
