Dark Night of the Soul

Dark night of the soul By Michelle Morris 05/12/2022 All mortal beings will experience The dark night of the soul It is inevitable as we journey Through this human mode Sent through a time-space continuum Like time travel through a wormhole in space Our souls are thrust into these shells And we creatures become that grow old We start off our lives completely naked Vulnerable and dependent on others We learn and grow and overcome obstacles And at some apex we will know trouble If we are smart, we will introspectively sit And allow our higher self to commune With our souls in our hour of darkness Where the well seems deep and foreboding The dark night of the soul is a chance to See the brightness of the stars in the heavens And feel the absolute divine spark within us That shines out like a beacon calling to God And if we gather our wits and fortitude We shall rise, having known our demons And faced them bravely in the cold and dark Until at last, triumphant, we walk into the light All mortal beings experience The dark night of the soul For it is a chance for us to know And fully appreciate our immortal soul's role And just like that we are flying and free Our wings are formed and steadily we breathe Air that is crisp and true and new and everything For our perspective shifts and we are whole © Michelle Morris, 2022
