Beauty is the sun that
illuminates my inner journey
it stills my heart with peace
it rests my mind with joy
Beauty is the breeze that refreshes me
it softens me when my truth feels harsh
it revives me when my goodness feels draining
My sense of beauty knows my name alone
Truth is what I’ve learned from my life
your truth remains a hypothesis to me
it is not mine until I experience it
All I can commit to live by is my personal truth
All my goodness springs from my heart
my conscience is my only judge
your heart doesn’t know mine
Do not judge me as good or bad
you know neither my situation
nor the context shaped by my life story
The measure of my goodness is mine alone
Isn’t love the highest value of how I live
Love is the wellspring of these three virtues
If I choose love as my guidethen I can know with certaintyI am on the right path to live
my beauty
my truth and
my goodness
