Silent Night

Precious silence
in my bed
disturbed by yet another storm
where light meets the eye
while angry voices
from Heaven cry.
Precious silence
in my head
why do I feel disturbingly alone?
Bedside light low
yet bright.
Premonitions of
ancient battles
fill my thoughts
on this ever
silent night.
