Deep roots hold the tree,
Branches reach for endless sky,
Fruit falls, knowing earth.

from vice to virtue toward divine consciousness,
attained by sagacious introspection.

Darkness, the beginning path
spawns brightness at the end

division on the mend
Struggles, trials, and failures past
just fuel to keep you warm

to keep you warm

the final truth
