VISIONS OF BEAUTY

- looking and holding converse with true Beauty simple and divine...." Plato, Symposium, 211

- Dream dreams
- And have visions
- Of life
- Uplifted
- Where love and beauty
- Transfigure life
- So that all humans
- May live in dignity
- And fulfill their humanity
- Where the meaning
- Of life
- Is understood
- And justice and truth
- Prevail
- Prophets and poets
- Dream dreams
- And have visions
- Of beauty
- Exalted
- Where hate and ugliness
- Are transformed
- Where the fallen image
- Is restored
- To its primal beauty
- And love and beauty
- Reign supreme
