1♥ New Year's Eve...... New beginnings await.

Within the flower there lies a seed,

within the seed there springs a tree,

within the tree there spreads a wood.

In the wood there burns a fire,

and in the fire there melts a stone,

within the stone a ring of iron.

Within the ring there lies and O,

within the O there looks an eye,

in the eye there swims a sea,

..and in the sea reflected sky,

and in the sky there shines the sun,

within the sun a bird of gold.

Within the bird there beats a heart

and from the heart there flows a song

and in the song there sings a word.

In the word there speaks a world,

a word of joy a world of grief

from joy and grief there springs my love.

Oh love, my love, there springs a world,

and on the world there shines a sun

and in the sun there burns a fire,

Within the fire consumes my heart

and in my heart there beats a bird,

and in the bird there wakes an eye.

Within the eye, earth, sea and sky

Earth, sky and sea within an O

lie like the seed within the flower.
