Dark Night of the Soul
[Verse]
The shadows whisper tales untold
A heart of fire turned icy cold
The stars above
They shy away
In this dark night
I lose my way
[Chorus]
Oh the dark night of the soul
Where the light can’t make me whole
Tearing down what I once knew
To rise again
Born anew
[Verse 2]
Faith unravels thread by thread
Dreams dissolve like words unsaid
The moonlight hides
It won’t console
In this deep abyss
I find my role
[Chorus]
Oh the dark night of the soul
Where the light can’t make me whole
Tearing down what I once knew
To rise again
Born anew
[Bridge]
The ground beneath me shakes and breaks
Through every loss
A step I take
The silence roars
The void unfolds
Yet in the void
My strength holds
[Chorus]
Oh the dark night of the soul
Where the light can’t make me whole
Tearing down what I once knew
To rise again
Born anew

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
