Silence and darkness comfort me
The soft glow of white snow rising through my window
The black silhouettes of the trees against the dark gray skies
The silence like a continuously whispered promise
The steady stillness feeling omnipresent and everlasting
And as the darkness creeps further and further into me
I calm more and more, the quiet enveloping all
The night is a comfort and the quiet is reassurance
That all is well even when it is to be broken by the rising of the sun
