Inner Black Madonna

In the shadows of our psyche's folds,

A feminine force, unseen, unfolds,

It is a darkness, deep and wide,

A place where ego fears to abide.

This hidden realm, surreal and strange,

Is where we fear to seek exchange,

For fear of what we might unveil,

The uncharted depths that might assail.

Yet within this darkness, there lies a power,

A force that can shake our very tower,

It is the yin to the yang of our soul,

The dark, the feminine, the whole.

It's a realm of mystery and delight,

A place of beauty, both day and night,

Where we can dance with shadows cast,

And find our essence in the past.

So let us embrace the darkness deep,

And let the feminine force us to keep,

A balance between our dark and light,

And let it guide us to our true sight.

For in this balance, we will find,

The hidden truths of heart and mind,

The beauty of our deepest soul,

The power to make ourselves whole.
