Art of Symbol

Whether meaningful, or just beautiful
Whether easy to understand, whether full of mystery
A simply shape, or a detailed design
Symbol is created

From nature, from imagination
From dream, from experience
Whether adaptable, whether unchanged
Symbol is taken

For secrecy, for practical
The color, the code
To unite, to protect
Symbol is used

God's sign, devil's mark
Good luck, bad omen
A clear help, or a hidden warning
Symbol is interpreted
