hushed

19.

the night

was made less lonely

with starlight

seeping through the idle blinds

and the curtains gently swaying air

into the quiet bedroom

where we lay;

sleeping,

legs laced,

and hearts beating

perfectly in sync;

the life outside so hushed

the walls could hear their rhythm

as if we were the only two people left

on a barren earth

alone -

but not lonely -

and

at peace.
