the phantom vibration of a phone that never actually buzzes with an offer

The Silence Is Where Light Shines

The phone vibrates in your pocket. A jolt of hope.

You reach for it, certain this is the call that changes everything. But the screen is dark.

Silent. Again.

In this deepest hour, the silence feels like a verdict. Like you are being overlooked.

Forgotten. But listen — the light does not buzz.

It does not send urgent signals to prove it is there. It simply waits.

Split a piece of wood, and the light is there. Lift up the stone, and you will find it there.

The offer you are desperate for has already been made. Not tomorrow.

Not when the sun rises. Now.

The kingdom is inside you, and it is outside you. You are not waiting for an invitation.

You are standing in the room. The silence is not absence.

It is the space where the light stops shouting and starts shining.
