The Dark Night of the Soul
by Martha MacFarland
At some point
Awakening comes
When we face the dark night
Of our soul
When depression and hopelessness
Take over
And we don’t know how
To move on
And in the pain
When the fog of our emotions
Cloud our understanding
Of our true identity
We hide
We shelter
In our emptiness
Questioning the purpose
Of all this suffering
And then a lucid moment
Comes when activation
Of unconditional love
Floods our heart and
We realize we are not alone
We know that we are not separate
From the higher vibrations
Of the Divine
And in this lucidity
We see a different path
A different way
A lighted road
Where we can be guided
To achieve our soul’s purpose
And the dark night of soul
Reveals we must let go
Of the spiritual baggage
Of ourselves, our family
We must clear our energy
In order to release the congestion
In our channels
To open ourselves to the flowing light
To receive
To allow
A deeper state of consciousness
Safe and at peace
We embrace who we our
Perfectly unique
And we dust off the jewel
To see the light reflect
Throughout our entire body
Through the crown of our head
A liquid light spilling
Throughout the body
Cleansing and washing the dust
Cleansing any blocks
And through this process
We see the hidden gifts
Inside of ourselves
Removing the fear
That was hidden in our voice
We know we are here
To speak the truth now
Healing all lack
To embrace abundance
Letting the light remove the pain
Restoring our hearts
We radiate now
In the safety and security
Of the light of intuition
And the intention of change
Now stays with us
Connecting us to pure consciousness
Expanding beyond our bodies
Expanding beyond our home
Expanding beyond our city and state
Expanding beyond our country
Expanding beyond our planet
Until we merge with Cosmic Love
And we know now
We are exactly where we are supposed to be
And we can clear out any karmic imprints
That have held us back
And through non-attachment
The seed of light
Now grows in our soul
Magnetized into our path we walk
And the star of energy
Lets us step into the state
We desire
And the light now shines
Through the dark night of the soul
