In the hush where night forgets to breathe,

A shadow moves where no eyes see.

It bends in silence not to sleep,

But to a vow the stars still keep.

Beneath the hush of midnight's veil,

Where lamps of heaven softly pale,

A whisper breaks the woven dark,

And lights within the soul a spark.

Each sigh a psalm, each tear a thread,

Woven in silence, softly said.

The floor becomes a sacred sea

And every prostration sets one free.

No call of fame, no crowd to cheer,

Just God… and one who draws Him near.

Their hands are raised, but not for gain,

They seek no balm, yet soothe their pain.

The world lies still in heavy rest,

But in this vigil, hearts are blessed.

For in the shadows where they kneel,

They taste a love the day can't feel.

So let them fade before the dawn,

Unsung, unknown, but never gone.

For angels mark each quiet plea

The shadows of prayer… eternity
