There was a leaf, with lines...
Luck lines, love lines...
There was a branch at the tip the leaf.
Forked line, sign of life, sign of luck, sign of love.
There was a tree at the tip of the branch.
A tree with a right to life. Right to luck, right to love.
Engraved, gouged, pierced heart. A tree that no one ever saw.
There were roots at the tip of the tree.
Roots, the vines of life, vines of luck, vines of love.

At the tip of the roots, was the earth.
Simply the earth.
The earth all round.
The earth all alone through the sky...
The earth.
