LIKE THE WINGS OF A HUMMINGBIRD

Like the wings of a hummingbird
my heart beats perpetually for you,
its thrum
drowning out the din of the casual.
One theme stands out amongst the rushes.
Like the needle of a compass pointing north,
No direction except that which leads to you is complete.
One might say that such a world is 'dizzy'.
But I say that what direction is up doesn't matter:
only which direction leads to you.
