You Are Known In The Silence

The three dots dance on your screen, then vanish. Silence returns, heavier than before.

You begin to write the ending they never sent — inventing reasons, rehearsing apologies, building entire conversations out of thin air. But the light does not speak in fragments that disappear.

It sees you clearly, even now, in this quiet room where the only sound is your own racing heart. There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world; if it does not shine, it is dark.

You are not waiting for a message to prove you exist. You are already known.

The kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you; when you come to know yourselves, then you will be known. Stop staring at the empty space where words should be.

The truth you are searching for is not in their reply. It is in the silence that holds you right now.
