Dark Night Of The Soul

I waited for spring to arrive

Never knew about my inner drive

I waited for the happiest day

That would take my worries away

I passed the days in the wait

Maybe destiny would open a gate

A day when all my worries fade

When I would crossover a cascade

But little did I know

I was melting the snow

The illusions soon faded

My heart suddenly shredded

I was awakened from the illusion

I went into a holy seclusion

All the old beliefs soon shattered

My false ego was harshly tattered

I did not fit into the old dress

All I wanted was a holy caress

I resisted and fought the changes

I was still given innumerable chances

God was kind enough to me

He gifted me a new me

He showered his causeless mercy

I could now feel and foresee

Still, my old self called me lovingly

I succumbed to it cunningly

This didn't work for longer

I slowly became much stronger

The old ways have to change

A new me has to break the cage

More dark nights one goes through

The more the soul evolves and grow

The dark night is the time to peep in

It sheds the dark cloud of sin

The soul cleanses and purifies

It is truly a blessing in disguise!!!
