Beauty has the power to make us feel loved.
There’s no beauty in a dissatisfied heart.
There’s no beauty in our dissatisfied hearts,
We lived love as if it was overpriced,
Yet we lived, and to love we owe the price.
I think the world is in need of more beauty.
I think of people in need of more beauty,
The heart will not long for what eye has not seen.
What heart could long for what these eyes have seen?
Fear is the conscience of those who never knew care.
I fear the consequence of those who never knew care,
For the future is theirs as much as mine.
I want for their future as much as mine,
The power of beauty to make us feel loved.
“Duplex II” – by Miriam DaPonte
