Four, maybe Five

I was happy with three,

for three is a number

of good fortune, magic,

and harmony,

not to mention the divine.

But then came number four

and my delight was complete.

Four is a number of stability,

of foundations,

and integrity.

Four there are of 

seasons,

winds,

elements,

and phases of the moon.

I was happy with four.

But now it appears

there may be five --

an odd number, five --

a slight off balancing,

but also a change of course,

a striving for the upper numbers,

and in the case of this twig,

the perfect number

will be six.

But for now, I await number five's completion

and continue to marvel.
