the black cloud

• the black cloud
  
  lose yourself,
  lose yourself in this love.
  when you lose yourself in this love,
  you will find everything.
  
  lose yourself,
  lose yourself.
  do not fear this loss,
  for you will rise from the earth
  and embrace the endless heavens.
  
  lose yourself,
  lose yourself.
  escape from this earthly form,
  for this body is a chain
  and you are its prisoner.
  smash through the prison wall
  and walk outside with the kings and princes.
  
  lose yourself,
  lose yourself at the foot of the glorious king.
  when you lose yourself
  before the king
  you will become the king.
  
  lose yourself,
  lose yourself.
  escape from the black cloud
  that surrounds you.
  then you will see your own light
  as radiant as the full moon.
  now enter that silence.
  
  this is the surest way
  to lose yourself....
  what is your life about, anyway?—
  nothing but a struggle to be someone,
  nothing but a running from your own silence.
  
  who said the eternal one has died?
  who said the light of hope has died?
  the enemy of the sun is on the rooftop.
  with his eyes closed he yells out,
  “the brilliant sun has died!”
