morpheus

i was awakened, last night, by a sound i could not place - a doubt, a sigh, a fear, a shadow in my mind that seeped through my dreaming and lingered in the dark when i stirred, lips dry with uncertainty and the confusion of a thought i could not place but which left bitter emptiness on my tongue, before sleep took me once again.

it is only later in the day - much, much later - that I suddenly remember that the silence spoke your name.
