Silent Night

That blessed night
Cloaked in silence
You held me tight
In your arms

You laid my head
Gently on your lap
Ran fingers
Through my hairs

Your right hand
Rested lightly
On my chest
Healing me from inside

When your hair
Wantonly fell
Across my face
You brushed them aside
From my face
As if to read
An old dusty scripture

You read me all night


It was only much later
When I realized
That it wasn’t a night
And nothing around us
Was silent at all
