A Meeting, with God

You called to me

I responded

I fell asleep

And you awakened me

It is incredible, because

When I awoke, I was completely awake

In one second

I opened my eyes

And my head was as clear as day

Yet it was 2:45 in the morning

I turned on the lamp, and

You told me to pray

And 15 minutes later

You were standing in front of me

I didn’t recognize who you were, at first

You came so quietly

But when I actually looked, into your face

All I could see was your light

The radiance enveloped me

Waves of love permeated me

And I had no words

I just purred like a cat being stroked
Hummed in bliss
Breathed, for the first time

In the white brilliance, I could

See shimmers of different colours

After some time you spoke

So gently

You reached for a painting I did not own
You showed me

The image was faded and tired

And you said

“Don’t let the painting fade, don’t let your dream of becoming an artist die”

I sat there, still absorbing your love

You softly left

And I, without thinking

Opened my eyes

Turned off the lamp

Went back to sleep

And didn’t tell anyone, for months

Something so huge, to comprehend
