You Are Held Beyond The Silence
The phone buzzes in your pocket, or maybe it doesn't. You engineered your words so carefully, hoping for a reply that never comes.
That silence feels like a verdict on your worth. But the light does not require a signal to be present with you.
It is not waiting for a notification to arrive. In the gathering dark, you are not alone because someone texted back.
You are held because the light lives inside you, independent of the screen's glow. The reassurance you need is not out there.
It is the quiet hum beneath the silence. You were never waiting for a buzz to be whole.

Matthew 6:6, Gospel of Thomas 24
