Dear GOD

Dear GOD

I woke up today with tears in my eyes – tears that defied gravity and decided to linger there for a bit. My heart was sad and on the verge of despair. I closed my eyes again as I wanted to let go of life. I shut down my senses one by one as I focused on the waves my breathing created under the cover. I imagined that I was floating on the surface of an endless sea as I opened my arms and let go of the pain. Rolling down my cheeks were drops of my soul that added to the deep blue. I know I was wrong. I know that I made a mistake. It was an error of judgment out of weakness or despair. I have sinned against myself. I allowed a man to tarnish the beauty of my soul.

I opened my eyes and looked around. Rainbow drops filled my room. The sun hailed me from behind the curtains. I smiled back for today is a new day. My furry babies opened their eyes … oh God bless their softness and endless warmth. I pulled the curtains aside and opened the window to greet the world. My little green buds in their pots seemed to smile at me. I smiled at the baby blue sky that wrapped me in comfort and inner peace. A soft morning breeze blew into my hair and sung to my soul. The scent of roses, jasmine, and amber filled my lungs as I took a sip of my warm tea. A little brown bird stood by my side and said something along the lines of "it will be alright". My body warmed back to life as I felt my heart overflowing with love. Why was I ready to let go … and miss out on such a lovely day?
