I guess he heard me

by Yakari Gabriel   Feb 15, 2012


I apologized to God last night,

..I asked him to forgive me
for I still abstain from believing
that having a seed in my womb would
make a happy woman out of me

there was a silence in my room,
and I swore time stood still-

the last time I had waken up so early
still lingered behind my shoulders,
for sleepless nights tend to hit me
like contractions, one after the other,
and it seems I'm never ready to push out
an uninterrupted dream just yet.

the curtains fluttered when they
felt me breathing,
but I told them to not
mistake a sigh for relief sign..

I told God I wasn't happy,
but I guess he must have known that
because through all the thunders
of a dark night, I felt peace when my eyes closed again..

..God must have heard me I say,
For I woke up to a vibrant sun in the sky

and a voice whispering;

"Here's another chance"

inside...

    What can I say? This poem is so captivating. From the first line itself I was so enticed to keep reading and understanding more and more what it was about

    I loved this poem, I really did. It is sad and beautiful at the same time. I especially love the way you have ended this poem on a happy image. The last line, I felt sunshine run through me!

    Awesome!!!

    I don't know what is more intense, the tears I have forming or the chills running all over my body. This. Was. Moving.

    "I told God I wasn't happy,
    but I guess he must have known that
    because through all the thunders
    of a dark night, I felt peace when my eyes closed again.."

    This piece got to me the most, the most I could relate to. It's like what I was talking about before, God knows every thought before we even think it. He knows us so deeply and intimately, better than we know ourselves. Confess to Him, turn to Him, and the power that is unleashed in your life and in your world will be absolutely moving and amazing.

    This just.. wow. Of course He hears you. He knows of every tear we've ever cried. Don't ever think God is too little to not know us or hear us :) We may not have answered prayers right away, but there is a reason for it. :)
