One of those nights 🌙

And in the midst of what was supposed to be summer, the sound of a heavy rain on my roof woke me from the dead sleep I was in.. I couldn't tell what time it was as power was out and none of my accessories had battery, i was amazed that inspite of the loud noise the rain was making I could hear a near by church sound clearly..i closed my eyes and listened to the priest chanting a hypnotic holy music it's so slow and smooth... eventhough I don't understand the language they're using or don't get what they're saying I felt a certain calmness in my soul, heaven must sound like this I said to myself, I started tapping around my cupboard trying to find a flash light or something that can somehow beat the darkness that filled the room but instead I found a left over candle besides my prayer books from the other night that I lit during my prayers..., I lit the candle and grabbed the Bible that was placed  beneath it, at this point I have come to a realization that I wasn't going to go back to sleep anytime soon it was already too late for that as my mind is running into different dimensions...
i now want to open the Bible randomly and start reading wherever I land, because I've spent so many nights hugging it, so it could be so close to my heart hoping it will instantly mend it but I am now old enough to understand that it's the words that will actually heal and collect my shattered and lost pieces. In the dim candle light I tried reading few pages.. I found serenity in them... reminded myself to forgive my past, forgive those who did me wrong even though they're not sorry, forgive myself for doubting God, smiled at the things that stresses me, asked for strength to push forward and with a belief that soon all my tests will turn into testimony I closed that one book that does me wonders and decided to try & sleep as tomorrow is around the corner.
