Running in the darkness of night,
Searching blindly for light.
Life lost, in the Dark Night of the Soul.
A struggle with fear taking control.
In the dark night,
Beauty is lost,
And pain grows,
In the place of the hollow wilted soul.
Emerging in strength the ego seizes hold.
The darkness is darker,
The light a faded memory,
Forcing the soul to its knees.
Wilted, hollow, the lifeless soul
Sees a glimpse of the distant light.
“Keep your eyes on the light,”
Echo the words of the Angels,
While quickly fleeting the dark night.
With each glance the light re-ignites
As the fears melt away.
The power of the soul
Turns the darkest night into emerging grey.
“Come…Come…There is more for you to see.”
Sing the Angels hovering above me.
With Fixed eyes focused on light
The damaged ego releases its hold.
The light so bright burns passion and joy
In the empty hole.
New Life is birthed in this once lost soul.
God Is I Am 
You describe the key perfectly… “with fixed eyes focused on light”, however small the aperture, the doorway begins to open and the soul steps across the last threshold. Wonderful, Mary.
With love and light,
James.
