i awake to the sound of wind blowing hard outside

it's comforting

the wind.

instead of the chirping of crickets,

all i hear is the earth running fast

we say we long for silence,

when all, indeed, we long for

is a sound louder than the rest.

i sleepily grab another blanket,

wrapping it around me.

and listen.

my watch says 2:06am.

it's early, it's late

kind of in the middle of the night.

the trees are bowing

and the leaves are sailing on the wind

i've missed you.

i shiver a warm thank you up to

the Star-breather

and quietly fade back into silence

into sleep
