The Earthborn looks down, watches his•her Heart.

The Earthborn knows Trust, for without Trust a Heart cannot be held.

The Earthborn holds his•her Heart, knows his•her Three Beats.

The Flower beats fast, for this Beat is for Beauty.

The Earthborn listens to the Beat.

It vibrates in his•her ear. The Earthborn moves to this Beat, laughs, knows joy.

When two Earthborn share a Flower Beat, they are friends.

They see the Beauty in the Other.

Without Trust, the Flower is ugly, the joy passing.

The faster the Flower Beats, the more butterfly fly.

The River beats deeply, for this Beat is for Life.

The Earthborn listens to the Beat.

It hums in his•her ear. The Earthborn moves to this Beat, loves, knows time.

When two Earthborn share a River Beat, they are family.

They see the Life in the Other.

Without Trust, the River is manipulative, the time passing.

Without the Flower, the River is toxic, the time scattering.

The deeper the River Beats, the more it rains.

The Beast beats raw, for this Beat is for Passion.

The Earthborn listens to the Beat.

It growls in his•her ear. The Earthborn moves to this Beat, hunts, knows desire.

When two Earthborn share a Beast Beat, they are sexual.

They see the Passion in the Other.

Without Trust, the Beast is hurtful, the desire passing.

Without the Flower, the Beast is abusive, the desire scattering.

Without the River, the Beast is lost, the desire destructs.

The rawer the Beast Beats, the more noble the prizes are.

The Human Earthborn looks down, watches his•her Heart.

The Earthborn now knows Better, listens to his•her Heart Beats.

The Flower can always beat when held.

The River needs a Flower, but can do without the Beast.

The Beast needs all the Beats; without them, the Beast folds in its own Passion, stops beating.
