2. Four realisations
My body-cage has realisedFreedom’s quick fame
Does not and cannot last.
My mind-cave has realised
Freedom’s quick promise
Does not and cannot last.
My heart-flame has realised
Freedom’s quick transformation
Does not and cannot last.
My soul-flower has realised
Freedom’s quick perfection
Does not and cannot last.
