:Constantina
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.
: Can you hear the north winds whisper?
There there careful
Yeah, you're almost out
Dont be afraid
Being you is the easiest thing
You'll ever do
Dont shy away
I know you're scared
That shell you live in
It's warm and safe
I agree
Completely
But dont you want to see
A million miracles all at once
The sparkling sunshine
The peacocks dance
And the raindrops falling on the tin roof
Pitter patter pitter patter
Like a tap dancer in infinite harmony
Dont you want to hear?
Dont you want to smell
The warm winter sunshine
The rainwashed earth
And the distant land so far away
Has sent a message for you
Can you hear the north winds whisper?
Everyone waits for you
Come out little child
Bare your heart
Bare your mind
it's like dancing in the moonlight
And singing with the winds
Let it go kid
I promise you
Out there lies waiting for you
A beautiful life
La bella vita, kiddo
Make it yours.
:Cackle of questions
Do clouds remind you of cotton wool?
Do you believe in a golden rule?
Do you dance like a nincompoop?
Do you swear by cream of chicken soup?
Do you believe in piercing eyes?
Do you detest long drawn lies?
Do you love that patch of winter sunshine?
And reading aloud beautiful lines?
Do you love the smell of rainwashed earth?
Being happy just like that, an eternity of mirth.
Do you like being silly and mad?
Forgive and forget when things go bad.
Because I sure do.
And if you do too.
We'll have fun, wont we?
