GOODNESS

It flows through
ten million hearts
 
Sheds light
rivaling moon glow
 
Flows from Green grass
from the Brown of trees
 
Branches pointing Upwards
tips rubbing gently against a blue sky

Not like the whine of a horse
nor the shriek of an elephant
 
Nor the laughter of a child
but a whispered Hum
 
One Knows after hearing it
that Goodness is a kind of breath
 
Like moonlight without the Moon
