The Dark Night

You stand by the edge of the great river in the forest. You have left the city, your riches, and your lover behind. You feel empty, nauseated by the life of greed and pleasure you have lived for years.
The water swirls beneath you, dark and inviting. You feel that there is nothing left for you—no goals, no joy, only the memory of the holiness you lost. You lean against a coconut tree, staring down, and a terrible thought crosses your mind: to let go, to fall, and let the fishes devour this failure called Siddhartha.
As you lean forward, ready to end it all, a sound rises from the remote areas of your soul.
