Nighttime

I scream in the seemingly endless darkness of the night
"God, why me?"
Tears stream down my face
My voice quivering with suppressed emotions
I lash out at You, promising never to come back
Thinking, "Where is the love You promised me?
"Why did You allow me to get hurt?
"How many times more should I feel pain?"
You took away your promise
Leaving me alone
I call out to You
But there is no response
Yet as I lay in the darkness, I notice
The stillness of the air, the twinkling of the stars,
The chirping of the crickets
I know I found Your answer.
