We wait for the shadow..

Notes Post Op Cleveland Clinic


We wait for the shadows. We missed the sunset. Darkness will provide the cover we need..the cover we want. We wait for the safety of nightfall when we can sob as we try so very hard to sleep.

But sleep has ceased to come easily.

There is a quiet in the darkness that is broken.
But ears cannot hear it.

Our pillows have no ears.

Nurses come and go but their eyes do not see the tears
Our pillows have no tongue
They cannot betray the secret.
How the pillows were wet when darkness had fallen.

How do we count the days and the nights?

Prayer moments..extraordinary moments in time. Alone with God. Two hearts united.
But each pleading differently. One for understanding of God's plan. The other that a loved one be spared of pain. That healing comes fully. That the veil of uncertainties be lifted.

In Gods time, He will lift the shadows.
We will wait for dawn.
