Fabrication

I have taken pieces of you
and seemed you into my knowing.
The first square pale in color,
neutral to become the center
of a friendship quilted with love.

I unfold you everyday, pages
of my sunshine and shadow,
embroidered stories,
interwoven colors, uniquely ours.

The more the patterns change,
the more they stay the same
and the simple pleasures
of a patchwork life touches me...
each memory, stitch-reflected.

I have only just begun
adding the pieces, laid out
soon to be of many colors and sizes
held together with a common thread,
linking us forever.

A Crazy Quilt? Perhaps...
reminders of joy and sorrow,
each one a conversation of thoughts,
bits of cotton, scraps,
my calicos of you.

Disciplined and yet not...
but always filled with emotion
never knowing how it will turn out
with a thimble on finger, thread lip-kissed,
the winter takes on a new meaning
as I become occupied in the fusings.

A diary of words and thoughts and feelings
spread out with touches of blue
for memories of happiness
to be seen each day,
as the sun touches it's warmth
upon it...
and to be felt each night
delivering me to you,
to be tucked in and under
your comfort.


M
