24. Journey of Light and Delight
There was a timeWhen I endured
The indifference of ignorance-night.
But now ignorance
Endures my indifference-light.
There was a time
When I endured
The tortures of human boundaries.
But now they
Are no more.
They have disappeared
In my upward and inward journey
Of Light and Delight.
