The Soul - Bird

O world-ignorance,
Although
You have shackled my feet,
I am free.

Although
You have chained my hands,
I am free.

Although
You have enslaved my body,
I am free.

I am free because I am not the body,

I am the soul-bird, that flies in Infinity- Sky.
I am the soul-child that dreams
On the Lap of the immortal King Supreme.
