Be thou as a newborn.
An innocent babe but
with the knowledge
of a king.
Be thou as the sun
that riseth out of night.
A god ever slain and
ever risen.
Be thou as life and as
death, as night and as
day.
Dwell not on the
poisons of sorrow
and joy, good and
evil.
Thou art not like
other men.
The face thou seest
is not thine.
Thou art nothing,
ashes thou hast
become.
Ashes carried
far away to join in
silence with the
winds of the night.
