The Green-Eyed Monster Hiding in the Dark

In the shadow darkness hides, use your hearing to find your way  

In the shadow what you hear is the true beat of your heart 

In the shadow, heartbeats echo so rhythmically like you can reach out and touch 

In the shadow, feeling the tactile beating heart, gratitude wells up in your throat 

In the shadow, gratitude leads to the road of happiness  

In the shadow of that happiness the face of envy is rising 

In the shadow, envy is obliterated with humility, stay kind  

The Green-Eyed Monster Hiding in the Dark is written in response to the W³ Weekly prompt.
