peace of art

fear flickers on
your face
like a flame in a
cave
branches lick the windows
we huddle
tied together by a
mutual
marriedness
frightened by the unknown
timid
you step out the door
i follow dragging books music paintings not
wanting to
abandon the arts
we face the storm
entwined,
confined to
each other's hearts
begin another
adventure bearing
candles
scribbling on canvas
in a dark
forgiven
world
