The hands of the earth are mountains,
And the dark green between the mountains;
What about the hands of dark green?
The hand of the blue sky is a white cloud,
And wind and rain between clouds and fog;
What about the hands of wind and rain?

The thundering hand is lightning,
And the intersection of speed and time;
What about the hands of time and space?
The hand of the universe is gravity,
And black holes in the stars;
What about the hands of black holes?

Nothing,
When exhausted,
Can devour everything,
Can also create everything ...!
The human hand is life,
And the soul in life;
What about the hands of the soul?
