Dark Night of the Soul

For some a black hole Dark night of the soul An illusionary sense of contraction Borne of narrow identity suggestion The truth quite simple Elusive to mind nimble Ascension is nothing but resonation With the divine sublime love vibration Who rises and who falls Why does descent appal Who is the desirer of a higher power Why do we self block the bliss shower Energy rises to the crown Union at heart way down Who but lower mind seeks attainment Embrace oh hermit bliss in contentment 09-September-2020

I was drawn to your poem by the title, Dark Night of the Soul. There is much imagery, which requires many reads because of the depth of meaning. This flows well. My favorite line (so far): Embrace oh hermit bliss in contentment. I, myself, feel drawn to a religious life, and, thus, this line particularly resonates.

Thanks Kira! We all go through a plateau during our spiritual journey sometime, which is when prayerful trust in God is tested.
