In the twilight of my thoughts, I drift

In the twilight of my thoughts, I drift, An inward journey, an endless quest, Self-knowledge, an adventure, a hidden gift, That carries me far, into the depths of my chest. Through the corridors of my mind, I wander, A stream of consciousness, a boundless sea, Reflecting on shadows, both near and yonder, In the labyrinth of self, where truths are free. Comprehensive knowledge of the shadow, they say, Can cast a veil, a profound darkness, Personality problems arise, like a stormy bay, Unimaginable struggles, silently found. For this reason, the alchemists spoke, Of nigredo, melancholia, a blacker than black, A darkness so deep, it seems like a joke, Yet within it, lies the path we lack. In this shadowed realm, I find confusion, Mental mazes, twisted and intricate, Each step forward, a powerful illusion, Of clarity gained, through the fires of yearning. The shadow within me, a mirror so stark, Reflects parts of me, unknown, unseen, Into its depths, I embark, On a journey through the unseen and in-between. With each revelation, the darkness grows, A blacker black, that swallows the light, Yet in this void, understanding flows, A beacon of truth, in the heart of night. Self-knowledge, a profound adventure, Carries me far, into the depths of my soul, Through the shadows, where mysteries are found, Toward a wholeness, a vision made whole. In the flux of thoughts, I navigate, The intricate dance of light and dark, Embracing the shadow, my destined fate, For within the black, lies the eternal spark. And so, I wander, in this stream of being, A mystical journey, deep and vast, Through the shadow, I am seeing, The true self, emerging at last. For in the depths of the darkest night, When shadows loom and fears ignite, I find within, a hidden light, Guiding me through the endless night. With each step, the esoteric unfolds, A tapestry of secrets, ancient and wise, Revealing the mysteries the universe holds, In the sacred dance of abysses and highs. In silence, I hear the call, Of ancient whispers, of cosmic lore, An inward journey, where shadows fall, To uncover the truth and much more. Thus, I embrace the shadow's embrace, A dance of darkness, a path of light, For in this mystical, esoteric space, I find my soul's deepest sight.
