dark nights
Lightless nocturnal hours
Dark nights are evenings with little moonlight or heavy cloud cover, when outdoor visibility is minimal.
The phrase often carries emotional weight—periods of difficulty, depression, or spiritual crisis: We all go through dark nights.
The expression dark night of the soul, from the mystic St.
John of the Cross, describes a profound spiritual crisis preceding transformation.
