Circle Limit

1.      There is a black devil and a white angel

2.      And they reproduce themselves outwards

3.      Becoming infinite at the limit of a circle

4.      Which describes the kingdom of heaven and hell

5.      Is there any special skill to draw such a pattern?

6.      Is there a specific formula of math?

7.      Some secret dogma of religion?

8.      A prayer which endlessly repeats itself?

9.      Do we need special power of concentration?

10.  Or should we just let our minds free?

11.  And fly in a dream of crystal clear water

12.  Or play a game on a black and white grid

13.  Do ghosts usually appear at twelve o’ clock?

14.  There is an arbitrary frame of reference

15.  And there’s always a point of no return.
