Held in Silence Beyond the Screen
The phone buzzes in your palm, but the screen stays dark. It is a ghost of a connection, a tremor of hope that someone might finally say the words that make you real.
You wait for a notification to prove you exist, but the silence stretches out, heavy and absolute. The light does not need a signal from the outside to know you are here.
It sees you in the secret place, where no one else is watching, and it calls you by a name that no network can carry. You are not waiting to be found; you are already held in a love that does not depend on a ringtone.
The validation you seek is not coming from a distance; it is breathing inside you right now.
Drawing from
Matthew 6:6, Mark 5:19
