Dark Night of the Soul

“Dark Night of the Soul”

by Nicole Costa

Warrior 

Come rest 

From the wounds

Of battle 

Step out from 

The shadow

The Darkest hour 

Is just before 

The dawn 

So hang on 

Hold strong 

Another moment

I swear 

It won’t be long 

Stand tall 

Don’t fall 

If you can’t run 

If you can’t walk 

Then just crawl 

If you can’t move 

If you can’t talk 

Then be still 

Surrender all 

To the fire 

Phoenix rising 

Even higher 

I used to be 

Afraid of

The flames

The ones external 

And

The one

Deep inside of me 

Attached by

Cellular memory

Samskara

Always reminding me

Attempting 

To define me 

Swaha 

I AM  

Refining me 

To be 

The master of 

My own illusions

Discerning truth

From falsehood 

What is real 

What’s delusions  

You have a choice 

To live a life of fear

Or

One of love 

Speak your voice 

Self proclamation 

Dissolving limitations 

Like the Menalite stone 

You can be anything

You want to be 

The shaper of your destiny 

Co-create with Divinity 

All the possibilities 

Infinity 

Grow into 

The person 

You’re supposed 

To be 

It’s now a time 

To receive 

Libra twice 

Double justice 

The Scorpion says

A time to die 

To injustice 

The sun will shine

You will break free 

Here comes 

The dawn to

Emancipate me
