The Dark Night

To move through the dark night of the soul
and manifest the light here on earth,
offer up the bloody fruit of your victories
to the higher will of the Universal Source.

Make yourself into the clearest window pane
so the light is not distorted by dust and dirt.
Clear your mind of old thoughts and beliefs;
enable it to use its intelligence in service to Source.

Surrender worry and concern for material things.
See beyond darkness into the keyhole of earth.
Birth into light the truth of feminine sensuality.
Become the substance that creates this new birth.

The vision appears as opposites unite into one
as dark and light become lovers within.
Find the courage inside to allow the golden seed
to become the boldest plant growing toward the sun.

Manifest within yourself the gyroscope of life
to remain upright through the darkest, dark night.
