youth

A freedom I once knew
hummingbird flitting
Long nose nestling nectar
From seed to speed
Petals and pedal dangerous
Whim flashing fast and
Hold tight to the rope.
A leaf dried, scattering-
Inbound, unencumbered.
Time soft and fuzzy, just
Rabbit fur trim and 
Touching skin, the wind.
A freedom like that is
Only appreciated when 
gone long.
