Song Of The Enlightened One
My dear friend was a day
older today
with the rising sun.
We all gathered 'round
to celebrate
and to find some fun.
The presents were grand
we sang him the song
that is always sung
I could see in his smile
that his battle
was finally won.
From the light of the candles
flickered the truth
I saw the years in his eyes
but not the years of age,
there was something more
eons of something wise
free of his past,
freedom at last
no verses were left unsung
I could see in his smile
that his battle
was finally won
Surrender now,
surrender to
what was falsely
taught to you
incessant myths
that once abound
are now to him
but just a sound
I can rest in the knowing,
his future is clear
now thatΒ he's found his light
just as sure as the night
follows the day,
and day follows the night
I only hope
he knows that his journey
has just begun
I hear in his laughter
the joyous song
of the enlightened one
and his pain is naught
but the sound
of a distant drum
and I see in his smile
that his battle
is finally won.
