The Sound of Silence

4:20am
can't sleep
pull back the covers
lightfooted I tread
into the silence

computer screen glares
as the machines hum and
whir.............
the faintest of whispers
electric conversations

boys sleeping soundly
the night air feels empty
foreboding even
so back to the covers I creep
to warmth and security and...........silence
