:Constantina

We live in the quest for beauty
Beauty that stirs our soul
And moves our heart
Touches our emotions like ever before
We look for her in wild hearted daffodils
In the seagull soaring against
The deep blue skies
And in your blue eyes oh love
in the famous verse
And in the young actress in sepia prints

The last waltz of the bride
In the eyes of the street child
Who just found a dollar
And joy.

Beauty oh beauty
Where art thou hiding?
I search for you everywhere
In concerts and symphonies
In wild flowers and dewdrops
You never show yourself
Except in disguise
You hide in the warmth of brown eyes
And the serenity of 'em blue
Solitude evades you
You live in Chopins energy
And in Beethovens complexities
And mozarts overwhelming passion
And Vivaldi's tempestuous emotions
You rest in Blakes calm logic
And in Eliots silent acceptance
And quiet cynicism
And in Coleridges vivid mind

I found you oh beauty
For you also hid here
In my heart
I found you in me
In my heart.
