Beauty
September 23rd, 2006

Reach deep into that spot
for that glimmering shine
that’s even deeper than thought,
more divine if well sought,
the warmth of a glow of a light deep in soul,
rarely surfaced though desired with the fires we behold,
beauty can save the world.
Not the beauty in the guise of the truth
telling lies,
not the skin of the surface, superficial disguise,
but the beauty of love,
of the passions for our world,
the beauty of expression, not suppression
tightly curled
’round our minds, not our spirits,
you can hear it but don’t fear it
’cause it’s new.
Don’t fear it ’cause you’ve been taught otherwise
like the guise and the lies, superficial disguise,
break free, spirit unfurled,
your inner beauty can save the world.
In the eyes of the beholders
you are one with what you love
and what you love is a reflection of
beauty in a form, enlightening and warm,
originality is born,
Meditation.
Through our voices, through our hands,
our only choice is to stand
with our eyes extended far, to the future,
to the stars,
raise the bars for,
revolution through the arts, evolution of the heart,
inspiration, creation, imagination,
beauty,
beauty will save the world.
