Arahants

In one who
has gone the full distance,
is free from sorrow,
is fully released
in all respects, 
has abandoned all bonds:
no fever is found.

The mindful keep active,
don't delight in settling back.
They renounce every home,
every home,
like swans taking off from a lake.

Not hoarding,
having understood food,
their pasture - emptiness
& freedom without sign:
their trail,
like that of birds through space,
can't be traced.
