Farewell Silence
Home is where the heart is for me. Home is with the people that I love, even if that means I have to dream about them sometimes.
The sound of empty silence, brushing at my cheek,
The pain of all that’s quiet, now compelled to speak.
The gentle hand of slumber, touch me with a dream,
Of a graceful lark, singing my lover’s theme.
Oh how romantic! My love only in a vision!
Oh how tragic! Living in my sweet loving prison!
To be until the dawn, oh you selfish harem moon!
To taunt me with your prisoner, and take him so soon!
Must I always dream, a loving boy and singing lark,
Only to wake to silence, alone in whispering dark?
No! If that is so I shall not wake! Silence leave me be!
Leave me to my dream where he may be with me!
Goodnight then, silence, farewell quiet pain,
For with my boy and lark, I forever shall remain!

Watcher at night
When I was a child, I would occasionally sense an intense, ominous presence watching me as I lay in bed at night. These experiences were rare, perhaps a few times a year. I would keep my eyes shut and try to ignore the feeling until it passed or I fell back asleep.
