Dark, Impure... Ugly?!

How? … When did the Dark become impure and ugly?
While life emerges from a dark womb
While the darkest nights are full of stars shining
Lilith… oh Lilith Come back to us or
The Great Kali will have to awaken.

“…
She:
How right they are to adore you!
Dark am I, yet lovely,
daughters of Jerusalem,
dark like the tents of Kedar,
  like the tent curtains of Solomon.
Do not stare at me because I am dark,
    because I am darkened by the sun.
My mother’s sons were angry with me
    and made me take care of the vineyards;
    my own vineyard I had to neglect.
Tell me, you whom I love,
    where you graze your flock
    and where you rest your sheep at midday.
Why should I be like a veiled woman
    beside the flocks of your friends?

…”
(The Shulamite, Solomon’s Song of Songs)
