An intimate conversation with God In the hush of twilight's tender embrace, I find a sacred space, a hidden place, Where silence weaves its intricate thread, And whispers of the soul's longing are fed. Alone beneath the vast, star-laden sky, I draw near to the divine, my spirit high, With every breath, a prayer softly spun, In this solitude, I feel we are one. Oh God, in this stillness, I lay bare my heart, Each secret, each fear, a delicate art, Your voice, like thunder, yet gentle and clear, In the depths of my being, I sense you are near. "Child," you murmur, "what burdens you bear?" I speak of the shadows, the weight of despair, The dreams that have faltered, the hopes that have flown, In this sacred communion, I\u2019m never alone. You listen, you cradle my sorrows with grace, As stars twinkle softly, your love I embrace. \u201cLife\u2019s trials are lessons,\u201d you tenderly say, \u201cIn the dance of existence, find light in the fray.\u201d With each word, a balm for the wounds of the past, In this intimate dialogue, I\u2019m free at last. The questions, the doubts, they fade into night, In your presence, dear God, all shadows take flight. I feel the warmth of your wisdom unfold, A tapestry woven, both ancient and bold, In solitude's arms, I discover my worth, For in this still moment, I\u2019m cradled by earth. As dawn breaks the silence, a promise anew, I rise from my reverie, renewed and imbued, With the strength of the heavens, the whispers of grace, In the heart of my solitude, I\u2019ve found my true place.
