You gave love like candy to a child,
and dragged laughter from my belly.
Your voice filled my thoughts and mind,
leaving no space in the between times.

I wonder,at the complete invasion!
to death-like quiet..and..
our all or nothing view of love.
I breathe deeply of the silence.

If I fight to understand,
I'll watch it fly out of reach.
Associating things with you,
that pull at my heart.

I breathe deeply of the silence,
and like an old familiar quilt,
drawn close on a cold winter night,
let the peace settle over me.
