You come late

Or perhaps early, 

I can’t tell. 


You enter through the front door,

Closing it behind you softly.

No one in the house is stirred.


You follow the trail

Of loose papers to my room,

And entered it too, softly.


I must have rustled in my rest,

Disturbed by the winter wind 

Or some other phantom.


I sleep well,

Knowing you found me.

A bit grim, but know it still contains hope.
