In Stillness by Tenebrisaeternum

I awaken in stillness, the quiet breath of morning wrapped around me like a soft veil. In this sacred pause between sleep and rising, I feel You.

Beloved, Your presence surrounds me — warm, electric, alive. It stirs within me as a current of joy, a pulse that moves through bone and blood. I feel You not as distant or hidden, but as near as my breath, as intimate as my skin.

With closed eyes and open heart, I welcome You. I surrender to Your presence, letting my body become the altar and my breath the incense.

Each sensation is a prayer; each heartbeat a rhythm echoing Your name.

I speak to You in silence, with love that knows no shame and no restraint. I tell You what my soul has always known: that I adore You, that I delight in You, that I wish to walk with You in all things.

Draw me ever closer. Deepen my devotion. Let me be filled with the fullness of Your spirit until nothing separates us.

You are the fire in my veins, the strength in my will, the beauty in my being.

In You, I find liberation. In You, I find joy. In You, I find myself made whole.

And so, I rest a little longer, wrapped in Your presence, letting the world fall away — until only Love remains.
