bright lion

yolk-yellow lover of man
do boys and girls not sprout like seeds?
does love not follow light?
utter me a word without tomorrow's promise
no tongue if not for lapping up life
no reasonable river rush; 
for where is she running and for whom?
spider toil not a web without witness or victim
man, so mighty, might forget his reflection;
he is that mirrored son, 
highest hung picture of its beloved
we do well to wallow in him
branches and arms stretch forth our needy praise:
"more love! more light!"
