Like music,goodness flows to its own beat.

Practise now the presence of the good.
For always good is there, though life is dark.
Acknowledging we live  here where we should
Our attitude enlivened by love’s spark

Behind bright pageants and the   idols  gold
Quiet and modest is eternal grace
And with patience let this good enfold
Ourselves and those  who dwell in this earth’s space.

Unnoticed by the rich and envious court
Like  a stream  love  flows  in channels sweet;
Known to artist and to waiting poets
Like music,goodness flows  to its own beat.

Let us not  deceive ourselves with light
Darkness contains gifts unknown to sight.
