The night darkness fades to morning light,

entering her and tearing the barrier within, down

No longer bound

No longer a prisoner of fear

She becomes house all bright and shingled.

The candle in her heart, at last, kindles

And my mother permits true love to envelope her.

The universe now hers, the soul inside stirs.

Her invisible wings begin to soar,

where she is guided to heaven's door.

As serene as a pond on a calm day,

my mother finds happiness in her eternal stay.
