Four corners of the earth,
Four seasons mark the cycle's birth
Four elements, the world's foundation,
Four phases of the lunar station.

Quadrant of the compass rose
Four points to which the journey goes
Four limbs that bear the body's weight,
Four chambers of the beating heart's gait.

Fourfold nature of the mind,
Reason, emotion, body, and divine
Four dimensions that we traverse,
Four pillars of the universe.

Tetradic symbols, ancient and wise,
Quadrangle of the mystic's eyes
Four is the number of wholeness and balance
Embracing the tetrad's sacred alliance.
