hearts and sleeves

twisting turning scrunching crunching tightly coiled in little knots
holding on so hard to something
anything
calm and peaceful quiet awaits
but first
to pluck swipe dab shine brush fluff and spray
conversation hardly halting
two hearts beating never stopping
thought provoking lives could change
what to think what to say
snow coated roads and the glistening trees
remind me of my fear
settle softly into comfort
or slide slipping always to the left
in an effort to find
what?
