In the Silence

In the silence of the night
you beside me, the sound of your breathing
quiet throughout the house
nighttime fallen, my mind adrift
thinking of my childhood,
little glimpses, flashes of memory
of the feel of the thoughts,
the smells of the images,
the look of the fragments
of the beginnings of my life
little pieces of my past
a rapid fire cacophony
in the silence last night
