WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN GOD IS SILENT

The morning conversation that came loud.

The morning tea, a table for two - my thoughts & I.

"What do you do when God is silent?"

The question I asked.

Sometimes, I feel the silent is distance, I feel it's hatred, I always feel "God select,"but that still doesn't make me feel better.

Those deep conversation between myself & my thoughts.

What do you do when God is silent?

Do you walk away like I once did or do you get angry or do you just pretend to be "fine."

I understand.

I have been there.

It's not easy & it's not funny either.

Eyes, full of tears & hearts, full of questions.

I called his name in the morning, afternoon & night.

I opened my bible for a sign.

Still no answer came.

The pages felt heavy.

Every breathing hurt, yet I still breath.

I sit quietly, with silence to listen deeper.

To understand it's meaning.

I learnt silent as a language.

I remember yesterday & the days before it.

How he carried me.

How he made a way where there seems to no way.

The sea he spilt before my eyes

Enough evidence that he's God.

I would still thank God for everything.
