16. HER HEART

Green as young grass
  Her heart is;
Therefore, she runs to the farthest Beyond.

Blue as the vast sky
  Her heart is;
Therefore, she flies into the farthest Beyond.

Red as the morning sun
  Her heart is;
Therefore, she illumines the world without.

White as Himalayan snow
  Her heart is;
Therefore, she feeds the world within.
