Midnight Note #20 Where the Night speaks
When I drift away from my heart,
and life takes me toward another distant turn, against my will,
words always bring me back
like anchors waiting for me to rest.
They guide me to a gentler, warmer place…
like the words I read that made me feel the pulse of life
in my soul and in my heart.🤎
“When I lifted my eyes just a little and saw her,
it felt as though the clouds had parted,
and a beam of light had fallen over me
filling my heart with a gentle joy.”
Once, when I heard him read these words,
they felt merely beautiful… soothing to the ear,
but I never truly understood why.
When I turned, and he looked at me
in that instant, silence settled over the courtyard,
and the snow began to fall, softer than ever.
Even the passing breeze grew kind,
touching no one with harm.
Like the sun on the winter solstice,
neither tilting nor fading,
but shining straight into the heart.
It turns out that true joy has a voice in the heart.
It is like sitting close to a fireplace,
listening to the quiet crackle of wood…
