"Tears in the Darkness"

A mindblowing peace

finds me in the deep dark night.

I sit alone in the quiet,

thinking of my own fragile soul.

From a heart burdened by life,

tears fall silently, like shadows,

and my body shakes and shivers

from the awesome, humbling fear of God.

It is the fear of his magnificent grace,

of his power to judge all deeds,

and the terror of being unworthy of his love.

In the profound deepness of this night,

no one can listen to my quiet sighs.

No one can know these feelings,

this trembling, this raw vulnerability.

But Allah knows everything.

He knows the shame and the secrets,

the prayers whispered in the stillness.

And so, in the core of the night,

I find a moment of true peace,

talking in the dark with Allah.

In this sacred conversation,

my heart is laid bare,

and I am found, not lost.

This deed, this simple act of turning to Him,

is a moment of surrender

that is deeply loved by God.
