Beauty Rises Forth
Written by Marshal Jon McKitrick
2009
Dragonflies hover in their singing, koi minnows dream serenity
Lotus blossom, present moment, all of this somehow a part of me
From the mud deep below, Beauty rises forth
Out of Great Mystery blossoms Divine worth
Half hidden shadow as the Buddha smiles, blissful notes from Krishna’s flute
This path continues on forever, all branches grow from just One Root
From the mud deep below, Beauty rises forth
Out of Great Mystery blossoms Divine worth
Tara dancing ‘neath the maple leaves, Kuan Yin blessed by Brother Sun
Spiral journey on the Cosmic Dance, one step follows another one
From the mud deep below, Beauty rises forth
Out of Great Mystery blossoms Divine worth
Circling through every season, viewing our lives a step behind
Trying to understand the reason, beyond our senses and our mind
From the mud deep below, Beauty rises forth
Out of Great Mystery blossoms Divine worth
From the mud deep below, Beauty rises forth
Out of Great Mystery blossoms Divine worth
