THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO LOVE HIM, by                    
Last Line: He shuts out the light who is light too much.
Subject(s): Love


There are so many ways to love him
In this silken flower we're curled within --
Hung in the wind here far above them
Who cannot breathe where the air is thin.
First, there's the bee's way, honey-sipping,
Searching about with hasty feet;
Then there's the bird's way, winged, dipping
From height to height into valleys sweet;
Then there's the worm's kiss, slowly crawling;
And the butterfly's, that's scarce a touch;
But it's best when, as a cloud comes falling,
He shuts out the light who is light too much.
