Eyes wide shut
Can’t even feel the dark’s whereabouts

For she doesn’t need eyes
To see what others see
By looking within, she can discern
the shining interstellar, the moonless night’s murky conceal

Why she never got afraid?
Why fear couldn’t shut her down?
Liberated from the horror of it
She was full of fire, constantly ablaze
Burning all that touched her

Why she never felt the pain?
When the rains came and took her light
Why she didn’t safeguard her flaming veins?

Or was it just a suppressed notion
The suffering was real, but the anguish imperceptibly calm.
it’s her soul that was weeping the entire turn
And she knew, there’s no end to its ascend

Nevertheless, pain for her was part of life
Her fellow companion
She couldn’t shrug off
Powerless to upend the whirling torture
She lived to live to the point of tears.
