Dark Night Of The Soul
To Transcend, We Must First Descend. Only After You Have Tread Through The Darkest Depths Will You Reach Radiant Light.
The greatest misconception
in the spiritual world
is that happiness
and carefree joy is what leads you
to find peace and freedom
It is the darkest nights
The loneliest days
The treacherous mountains
you climb on your own
It is the ugliness you face
staring dead in the mirror
still recognizing you're beautiful
It is the shadows that trail behind
that you bring to light
The ones you befriend
and comfort again
because from the beginning to the end
they loved you
That's why they were always by your side
It’s the rivers of tears
that you cry
It’s the murderous screams
before the sighs
It’s the mental states
that you must abandon
to tame the mind
It is the undeniable pain
It's the suffering
It’s the silence
It’s the sacrifice
That leads you to understand
the way to the light
is through the cave of the soul
Transcending the darkest night
Enlightenment is only attained
when you reach the other side
