Written on a scroll smuggled to him by one of his guards, his songs are the ultimate expression of the spiritual seeker's journey from estranged despair to blissful union with the divine\u003cp\u003eAfter escaping his captors, John fell into a state of profound ecstasy and wrote \u003cb\u003eDark Night of the Soul\u003c\/b\u003e.
