Beauty only

 Oh love

 the cloud that hides

 the glorious mountain top
 has now vanished
 and in the heart
 beauty shines
 In the thick of the forest
 in the open valley
 at the foot of the mountain
 and rushing crowd of the city
 in the heart
 beauty shines
 In thought
 in the dance of nothingness
 in the smile and tear
 in the mother
 the father
 the friend
 the stranger
 and the beggar by the roadside
 in the heart
 beauty shines
 the cloudy day
 the sun breaking through
 the tender leaf
 the drop of dew trembling
 the simple blade of grass
 so simple is the holy consciousness
 shining on all
 revealing beauty only
 The seasons come and go
 the child grows quickly
 and the body gathers aches
 yet within the holy consciousness
 nothing changes
 nothing moving
 coming or going
 only the beauty of truth
 revealed in all that passes
 transcending all
 living in all
 beauty shining
