Silence

I will answer you

With silence.

How can silence be misunderstood?

Words fail

Let silence fill the void.

Listen to it carefully

There is no mistaking its message.

It quietly whispers everything

That was never said.

For Rumple

Goodnight little cat

Curled around my lap 

Keeping warm 

Kneading my leg with you paw

Going to sleep.

Tomorrow 

You will be curled in my arms 

Growing colder

Me needing to let you go

To Sleep.
