 Quilled and Quilted in somber shadows candle’s light flickering outside the leaves are in winter shivering she rises from her desk places another log on the fire intent she stares into the crackling pyre draws her shawl cross shoulder slender sits back to quill her thoughts in render dips the quill’s tip in indigo ink strokes the feather ‘cross her cheek soft, soft smile as thoughts creep ‘cross her mind the loving kind and bent, scratches across before the line is lost all of the reasons for her love of her love to her love shadows deepen time comes creeping fire dies down she rises and candle crowns extinguishing all of light enveloped then in the night retires to her chamber room in the gloom no need for bright by hand she finds without sight his quilt of warmth pulls it up to her chin to dream sweet dreams of him again 02.08.01 Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Hey how did this warm cosy little piece scoot by everyone...not fair not fair...wonderful reflections here and a beautiful scene with it...write'em up! Don't know whether I'm too crazy about this new system where you can't bump your fav poet up the ladder a little but then I don't know everything...maybe it's for the best...love to ya my long lost sister....ethome |

Oh beautiful!!!!!! What a picture you've painted. I think this is my favorite of yours to date. I just loved it. Really nice flow to this! To capture and live a moment is truly living |

Wonderful, safe warm and cosy piece I like it very much, brings back feelings of hearth and home, I agree with Ethome, it nearly passed me by, thank you for sharing it. Regards, Olias. |

Sunshine, you've managed to create a mood both serene and wistful with this piece. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Sunshine this is a beautiful poem and I can "feel" so much of it. The crakle of the fire, the candle glow, the toasty warmth of a quilt. Beautiful. Hugs, ME |
