VOCATION
Life-work
Life's joy
To create beauty
A mantle of beauty
Spread around us
Life-work
Life's joy
To be a mid-wife
For beauty
Struggling to be born
Searching for the light
Life-work
Life's joy
To release the beauty
Hidden deep within
Within the soul
Within a stone
A tree
A lump of metal
Life-work
Life's joy
To unleash cosmic beauty
Multi-hued beauty of sounds
And shapes and rhythms
Beautiful medley of thoughts
And feelings and actions
Life-work
Life's joy
The soul seeking
Its true nature
Soul-beautiful
Life-beautiful
Life-blessed
Perfectly blessed
Perfect joy
Life's joy
To create beauty
