Silence

Silence,

not a noise,

just the faint sound of cat feet on the floor.

Creepy, yet peaceful.

Slowly I fall asleep,

forgetting the bad, dreaming the good.

A movement, than THUMP!

The kitten jumped on the bed. 

Snuggling close to my warm body, purring loudly,

we both fall asleep.

And the silence remains.
