Dark night of the soul

Searching for the truth with a prefixed notion,
we manifested in the void divine light,
towards which we looked with utmost devotion,
yet we were bestowed not with spherical sight
and to be truthful became not the ocean,
though we were compensated with bliss delight,
so we continued to wander coast to coast,
surfing the vast bardo like a soulless ghost.
