What might man's soul feel when experiencing St. John of the Cross's dark night? |
Such a deep, deep sadness no one can ever know Why can’t I fly far beyond the sea Free from pain and sorrow Why—I don’t know If there’s a God, why can’t I feel Him With such a need as this at the lowest point I’ve ever known So alone within my soul, where is my Father now? The tears well from within my chest and I desire only to die For I cannot understand why a faithful servant must suffer like this Why do bad things happen to good people? As a test? But haven’t I proven it tenfold before? Please, I beg, take me home For I cannot bear this emptiness Why am I alone on the cold, dark sea? Shivering, crying, wandering, dying? Please, I beg, my Lord Take me home |
