2022- The Dark Night Of The Soul

In the Dark Night of the Soul,

The past crumbled like brick,

And all the relations I knew,

Had broken cracks and creaked.

I questioned who am I,

And what is the way to peace,

I looked for a way to thrive,

In an endless search of bliss.

I questioned my heart and soul,

And every bit , I called me.

I longed to live with all,

And still be happy and free.

I hated my anger and pain,

And the gushing tears of guilt,

The conflicts , rage and fights,

Filled my heart with filth.

I knew not the way to forgive,

I knew not what to love,

I knew not how to forbear,

I lacked a patient nerve.

Then I prayed very hard,

As hard as one can pray,

And called on God so loud,

Calm, unable to stay.

My prayers were answered with change,

Like a snake I sheded my skin,

Every cell

was changed,

My nature and the way I think.

I transformed from deep within,

Crushing an old shadow me,

A new me then emerged,

Much more happy and free.

Then came the blessed soul,

My Guru who transformed my life,

He whispered the words of the soul ,

And ended all my strife.

He taught me to love God,

And to think God as my own,

I was born again , once more,

With a new rhythm and tone.

He held my hand all tight 

And led me the way to light,

I failed but he dragged me on 

To the path that was the right.

I mended all that were cracked,

My ego melted like snow,

I learnt to see this world,

In the light of the divine glow.

I broke the shackles of bondage,

I devoted my heart to God,

And my each day goes by,

Loving a bit more, my Lord.
