The Emptiness That Fills

Donald P. Goodman III

Version 1.0 (13 Jan 1204)

The flow of great Niagara fills Ontario,

the great freshwater ocean, to its ancient brim;

through Lawrence to the sea the lake itself will flow,

the rippling of their waters singing sacred hymn.

From fullness on to fullness flows the blood of earth;

ne'er lessening, each still the next in line can sate;

yet loses none of its own life in giving birth

e'en as the prior doth its substance recreate.

And yet there is an emptiness that fills the soul,

a fullness to which nothing ever can equate;

the emptiness which fills, can emptiness console;

which fills the more it empties, till at last we're whole.
