Little bird, little bird resting your weary wings

The closer I got to you, the harder it was to find you

You then turned to show the vibrant red crest

You and I became one at peace with that look

I felt your relaxation and wanted to stare indefinitely

You kept returning, hopefully just to dry your wings a bit. My veterinary knowledge tingling that something else may have been wrong.

I thank you for giving me this sense of balance with my stressful studying and the calm of a hummingbird at rest
