Head stilled with tears flowing
She embraces griefless joy
The pure knowing
Her blindness fades to darkness
Luminous mind shining bright
Rising above the mud
Reaching for the warm sunlight
Nourished by its energy
No longer a turtle at sea
Extending its head through a yoke
Born to this life again
Timeless awareness
Parts the sea of unknowing
Her self-lit candle
Extinguished the inner flames
Possessing the fire to end all fires
