I often do not feel the shiver of the night, not as the others do.                 (how they tremble.) I tuck my feet under the covers and read bedtime tales to my passions. to the lies that litter my sheets. needle and thread lie on the night stand. they turn a wary eye to me.                (the frightened ones.) for I know how to weave the morsels the others fear into stories that make them turn away. I scatter hope within, and hope that a few— a few that are wise— will grab onto the bits. silver linings, loving quiet lies.
