CHANCE VISIT
A hummingbird moth visits
The flowers along-side
Our canopied entrance walk…
A sighting for a lifetime.
–
It’s rare to catch this moth after dark,
Perhaps it was fooled by parking lot lights
As it flitted from flower to flower…
Its humming wings barely in sight.
–
It kept on hovering around our walk
‘Til it hid in the bushes to sleep…
So tonight it won’t be a bat’s “order to go”
But its glad memory we will keep.
—-Jonathan Caswell
