Tree of life   In the meantime Heaven Earth Underworld Moves the renewal Creation since the beginning In the cycle of eternity Immortally secure in it Who nourishes the trunk from the center Who touches the sky with the top Who takes root in the depths Weaving the spheres in the reflection In the plumb line preserves the space for life
