The Light Remains When Screens Go Dark
The screen is dark again. You have traced every crack in the glass, waiting for a name that isn't coming tonight.
The silence feels like a verdict, heavy and final, convincing you that you have been forgotten. But the light does not speak in notifications, and it does not leave when the phone goes dark.
There is a presence standing right beside you in this quiet room that no silence can erase. You are not waiting alone.
The gathering dark is not an ending; it is simply the space where you learn to see without the glow.

Matthew 6:6, Mark 5:19
