floating fast

"remember to remember me
standing still
in your past
floating fast
like a hummingbird"

I've been toying with the idea of making mobiles - maybe not even traditional mobiles that attach to the crib, but objects that can be hung from the ceiling above the crib (or changing table or play area or...). Because the mobiles that attach to the crib are really only useful for 9-12 months. After that, they become hazards when an infant who is starting to stand can grab on to them.

The question is...what should the mobile be? I wanted it to be something pulled from nature, something graceful and delicate. Dragonflies have been overdone, in my opinion. How about hummingbirds?
