Comfort

It's past ten on a winter's night
and we lie next to each other
wrapped in blanket of silence.

It's the silence that comes
from a place of comfort
and warm companionship.

I am engrossed in my book
and you in absorbed in yours
the silence broken by the dog's tiny snores

The silence tells a story
of lovers and friends
love, comfort and companionship
may it never end.
