Generous Brilliance

In a patchwork of green you danced

amongst the soft folds of tenderness

running a rhythm of busy calm

woven through sunlight.

Rising and falling

softly into titian blaze

you search for centres

finding dusted middles.

In fine fur

you wave a lemon ribbon

interwoven in soma black

and fold four translucent veins of lace

with slender fore, mid and hind

forked feelers flicking air

your five ocelli and compound eyes

oscillate in surveillance sure.

Your purposing probe excites

and tickles with amber sweetness

filling pollen’s hungry hamper

with swollen wealth.

And so to you who dance

for His sole pleasing

know your bourn for golden cache

and in this generous brilliance I bow.
