Embrace the Darkness

I am the darkness that was there before the light,
I am the nothingness you spurn by day, yet yearn by night.

You and I are inseparable; not two,
For reality is singular; this you already know to be true.

We may seem like opposites to the mind,
But are simply facets of That which it seeks and cannot find.


Next time you wake up and witness the stirring of life,
Notice from where the body and mind arise.

In that serene moment before all the trouble begins,
Are you not identical to the void, that no-thing?

Remember, what you have feared was never the dark,
But what may appear within it, to rend you apart.
