A Vision Of Loveliness, A Dream Of A Dreamer

If all the world only knew
The greatest thing ever known,
Its loveliness is nicely shown,
Love has loveliness of its own.
If one could only see the unseen
Diamond that had never been
Sighted, even with sight so keen,
The unseen is often forsaken.
If the heart is made for loving
Without the contrast of hating,
The world would rejoice with cheering,
Happiness is the aim of living.
If one only knew that someone
Has a loving and caring heart,
A heart that suits the heart of one,
Always true, warm, will not depart.

Philosophy Of Beauty And The Beautiful

Simplicity is beauty,
Purity, divinity;
The virtue of quality
Excels that of quantity.
Beauty that pleases the sense is good,
Beauty and vitue are good,
Seek for things simple but noble,
Virtue alone can ennoble.
True beauty is simply graceful,
The graceful are beautiful,
There's beauty that's deceitful,
Nature itself is beautiful,
Beauty is perfection of form,
Virtue and good sense conforms,
Beautiful things may deform,
But virtue act in good form.

The Course of Life, Time, And Events and The Process of Change

Time or fate may separate friends, lovers,
But friendship or love that's true will ever
Thenceforth continue to live forever,
True love conquers the odd with its power.
As time passes by, things change with the time,
Every moment, hour, day, month, and year,
All things have their turn to change with the time,
Life, time, and events change with the years.
Everyone, everything, have a time and day,
A time to change, end, begin a new day,
Change is life, the course of life everyday,
All things change, and we change with them all days.
Only the Eternal one is constant,
All things in the universe, inconstant,
But despite it all, love is important,
The world may change, but true love is constant.
