Suddenly, He Talked to Me

 

Suddenly, He Talked to Me

Suddenly, he talked to me—
A voice like wind in silent tree.
Before, he never said a word,
Not a whisper ever heard.

So many thoughts I used to keep,
While wondering why his silence deep.
Bad ideas would cloud my mind,
Is he cruel? Or just unkind?

But not now, not in this hour,
Something changed—was it his power?
A simple smile, a look, a phrase,
Turned suspicion into dazed.

I hope he's kind, I truly do,
That his heart is gentle too.
But if he's not, if he deceives,
Let me walk where goodness breathes.

If he brings storms and not peace,
I pray his presence soon will cease.
May the Lord watch over me,
Guard my soul and let me be.

I have no need for silent lies,
Or charming masks that hide disguise.
Kindness only, truth be near,
Let no shadow linger here.

Should he be a test or trial,
Let me pass with grace and smile.
If his path is dark and cold,
Let me walk away, be bold.

But if he's light, and truly pure,
Let our bond grow strong and sure.
Friend or stranger, time will show,
Where his heart is set to go.

Till then I stay with guarded soul,
And whisper prayers to stay whole.
God protect me, night and day,
Guide my steps along the way.

And if he's meant to be a friend,
Let our silence sweetly end.
But if not, then set me free—
From all that isn’t meant for me.
