A journey to soul's end / beginning

I found my haven amidst my hell.
Blinded by the thick fog; seeping into my lungs, suppressing my screams.
Deafened by the howls of hell’s hounds; ripping through me long before their teeth tore flesh, ravenous, lustfully lunging for my forbidden life.
Suffocated by my surroundings; I retreated into myself.
 
The time for meekly meandering around the edges had long past.
A leap of faith and I was falling, freely, through the waterfall of my soul.
Each tiny droplet a lesson learnt, a memory made, a dream discovered.
Singly, so delicate, yet united– an undeniable body of power, forever flowing,
Feeding into a lake of lucidity of indecipherable depths.
As I submerged into the ocean of oneness, from my limitations I found liberation.
As I plunged deeper, nearing the nebulous darkness, I found myself enlightened.
As disorientation took over, I found a strong sense of connectedness.
 
I re-emerged cleansed.
Far from the spotless soul of a new born, I was strewn with imperfections; stained from pains of long ago.
Yet, unlike before, they were now as clear to see as the sun in the sky.
For no longer were they smothered in egotistical plasters,
They were accepted, as scars to my skin, nonetheless pieces of my personal puzzle.
As I revealed my wounds to the world, unravelled bandages of denial falling to my feet, the light was finally able to shine through.
The glorious glow showered everything around me with peace and purity.
The lighthouse I had been searching for, a beam of guidance, comfort, certainty, near and far.
And all along it had been waiting in the harbour from which my voyage began.
