dark night of the soul
resting in quietude we wait
for wisdom that dispels all doubt
uncertain for now seems our fate
nobody hears our soundless shout
present here now in this domain
endowed with senses five and mind
what we took as boon is now bane
unless heart glows, loving and kind
the truths we glimpsed were but a tease
when winds blow, we stand not erect
all we seek is our soul’s release
form fear flecked, in this realm shipwrecked
trapped in the open, free within
we’re enslaved by our heart’s desire
negating soul’s light is our sin
we turn to God, for we now tire
