From
the soil new life shall emerge
The
horns of the Ram shall bear fruit
Day
and night shall meet and converge
The
Rat shall go forth and seek truth
The
flowers of the earth shall blossom
The
Bull shall be slaughtered for meat
The
light of the sun shall grow awesome
The
Ox shall be harnessed for wheat
A
rainbow shall bloom from a sea of brown
The
Twins shall compete with sword and fist
The
sun shall reach its highest crown
The
Tiger’s fur gleaming from tail to wrist
Fire
and air shall meet and unite
The
Crab shall scuttle ‘neath the moon’s wax and wane
Evening
is pierced by spears of light
The
Hare shall brood and give each one a name
Summer
has begun its downward path
The
Lion prances and protects at will
The
sun unleashes its final wrath
The
Dragon is fearsome, but shall not kill
Leaves
are shedding their emerald skin
Last
of the flowers wreath the Virgin’s hair
Women
shall greet each other as kin
The
Snake keeps wisdom, but still, beware
The
air shall cool and leaves will fall
The
Scales will balance day and night
Flowers
give in to slumber’s call
The Horse shall gallop with all its might
Winter is rapping at autumn’s door
The
Scorpion is all of greed and death
The
frost has enclosed the forest floor
The
Sheep is peaceful to its very last breath
The
tears of heaven turn cold and white
The
Centaur shall nock and raise his bow
The
grip on nature becomes strong and tight
The
Monkey shall leap between to and fro
Garlands
of holly reside and abound
Land
and sea unite in the Goat
The
sun shall be deepest below the ground
The
Rooster’s feathers like a rainbow coat
The
hold of winter begins to slack
The
Bearer of Water fills her bowl
Refreshment
coaxes the sunlight back
The
Dog keeps watch from the grassy knoll
The
arrow of spring shall pierce winter’s mail
The
Fish shall swim and spawn once more
Heaven’s
dagger shall meet nature’s grail
Strength
and honor is the heart of the Boar
