Silence Took Over Poem by Tracia Love Shalom

I stood by the huge window
just staring outside
The days and nights I’d spent
praying, pleading to God to make all be well

To make me forget the sadness around
To make it all go away
and happiness reign along with peace
My Bible always out and ready for my touch
Now tucked in my bag awaiting for me

I keep looking for signs for things to get better
My frustration grew
Loss for words to ask or tell God
To make me feel like my world wasn’t falling apart

One tear drop now turned to flood
weeping out of hurt and pain
A sudden realisation
I just couldn’t pray anymore

Silence of my heart, was Lord Help me
And at that moment followed a peace
settled over me
A comfort discovered
He did hear me even through silence
