Need

for the Hummingbirds

Need 

How I do need

like the multitude in rain

I need,

Like the rain needs somewhere to fall

something to nourish

some place to softly land 

how it seeks out the driest crevasse

to pool and collect

how it needs to be needed

in return

how little water souls;

(children of the water nymph

clinging to the window pane)

cling for dear life.

This is almost fairytale-like, love the playfulness and the theme. "the rain needs somewhere to fall" just beautiful, simply perfect. "how it needs to be needed" love this!

Cheers,

oh my goodness! so wistful .. repetition of the title works wonders for me ... the perspective is original and inspiring ..the rain needs a place to fall (brilliant says i) and has needs itself .. to nourish and bring to life .. really like this keeper of a poem, Corset! glad i did not miss it!

we are all hummingbirds with the need for those drops of love...
sometimes we fly toward it, other times we back up from it.
i guess both Hummingbirds and Humans can fly backwards....but we all need sustenance...and for us humans...it is love that sates...we cling to the window pane when on the outside looking in at a heart for which we yearn...
love this,
j.
