And so it was, released from snare, a thirsty doe met water there.
So cleansed my skin, a pale embrace, around me bloomed the flowered space.

He watches, hidden, from afar, no man is he, but godlike star.
He watches, hidden, from afar, no man is he, but godlike star.
Be witness, you, the budding rose, at long last, open, my laughter flows.
As if by touch, my spirit swayed, then listen, friend, what followed then?
The cage undone, the bird took flight, then listen, friend, what followed then?
What then, what then, what followed then? Then listen, friend, what followed then?
