Through Water

The lights went dim; they flickered, then died.

My voice, a whisper, lost to the tide, void of sound.

I tried to call for God,

but He loves silence more than shouts.

So I stilled my mind,

climbed hills and elevated in time.

Space continues to give what I can take—

each affirmation, though belated,

proves that God never hesitates.

Asked for a soul to match my mind exact,

a mirror of thought, a truth aligned.

Fast forward, and life transcended all I’d expect.

A stranger walked into my life as though my walls and doors were water—

she swam right through.

And every day I thank God for having you.

It’s true.
