I flutter from one bush to the other like the hummingbird not knowing which nectar to taste first and they all look good.
Not one looks better than the other in this mad rush to have it all.
I’m dizzy, running around for the sweetness of each tiny taste not wanting to miss anything.
In the meantime I’m lost.
I want it all. I don’t want to drop anything out but my belly has filled till explosion.
Pretty soon I’m drunk with the nectar and feel drugged and my senses have stopped asking for more but my body moves constantly, never pausing to enjoy the sweetness I have devoured.
For in the haste and busyness, I have lost touch with my inner message.
But then as I pause to take a drink, my friend the eagle swoops down on me and we ride and soar.
Thanks so much for the visit today!
Wishing you a beautiful day with time to savor moments and your souls yearnings.
Please remember to like (if you do of course), share and or comment if you are inclined.
Blessings while you taste the sweetness today brings.

Cindy, a stunning photo of the hummingbird! Such beautiful and enchanting creatures! They’re always in motion and always on a sugar high! The wonderful analogy of the hummingbird’s frenetic lifestyle to our own is a cautionary tale. We’re not hummingbirds! We have to find our own purpose!

Easy to get overwhelmed at this time of the year, Cindy. Best to pick your flowers and sip sparingly. Or find one flower and sip deeply. On another note, not sure that the fish is happy to be flying with the eagle. Pretty sure that it was invited to dinner as the main course. π βCurt

Isnβt it a feeling we have all experienced at some points of our lives. We sometimes want so much of a person or a thing that we just want it to keep coming. Never to end and never to diminish. Itβs all in built in our systems. We want the good things to last forever. But sometimes they end up quite abruptly and sometimes an eagle just like your beautiful poem will come and soar it once again. Loved reading this Cindy so much. Excellent. π

Yes, this is so true! Drunk on pleasure, exhausting ourselves spreading ourselves too thin, jumping through hoops for from flower to flower. For me, i have to slow down and when I don’t I get loud messages. The eagle inside is such a beautiful all knowing messanger when we slow down enough to listen and take heed. Thank you for your affirming message of my poetry Kumar. I really appreciate that!
