In the Quiet

In the quiet I am faceless,
mourning the death,
black cloth covering,
no other side to see.
Blinded by the thoughts
that delve into reasoning.
Eyes, impaired, no longer linger in blue,
but see only shadows, in outlines stilled.

In the quiet I am fearless,
worries pressed behind,
heart no longer raging,
the color red meaningless,
remembering the words
"be careful what you wish for",
now understanding why Alice
surfaces to hold my hand
and walk me through it, once again.

In the quiet, she is my angel in disguise,
and I borrow my strength from her
and will surrender to her and one other
on Valentines Day, the three of us
not as alone, as I felt yesterday.
