Dark Night of the Soul

The lights suddenly were gone.
My mind went black.
I knew immediately I was dying.
My inner light had gone dark.


Traumatized and broken, I cried silent tears.
At my last moment of resignation,
I saw them again, the points of light!


I gladdened at the sight of them,
bigger and more beautiful than before.
My consciousness was wiped out by a blinding light.
They saved me by putting me to sleep.
My dark night of the soul lasted 35 years
and they awakened me ... To remember


Another cried out like this.
Forsaken.
He too slept for a time and awakened.
Traumatized but not beaten.
We were saved by a mind that would not forsake us.


Who understands the dark night.
Why it must be endured
to reach the light of day.
"Life is forever.
Consciousness is a continuum."
This was their message.
The Collective is the hidden mind.
