Like Quaint Quilt Patches

On Sunday a few friends and I marveled at the artistry

 in the quilts on display at a local restaurant (Crossroads:) 

A quilt is a one-of-a-kind-work-of-art!

A little like each of our lives; bits and pieces stitched together!

Today's moments would make quite the patch-work quilt,

 I thought as I 'arranged' some of its colors while others spilled, splashed and crumbled into place...

I love snowy kitchen-days and the tots didn't seem to mind either!

A few today-quilt-patches...

Good to be busy and thoughtful and thankful

Good to be glad in Time’s tête-à-tête verge

Good to be helpful and happy and humble

Making the most of mere moments that merge

Like quaint quilt-patches into the big picture

Drawing us oft to a soft, surreal cast

To marvel at the fine stitches and tincture

That turned from everyday life into Past

Good to be gentle while tuned to a spindle

Holding a wheel that unravels the thread

Weaving a fabric of freckle and brindle

Pink, periwinkle, gold, green, sapphire, red

Gold and gray shimmers of dirt-floor and rafter

Pastel and neon frays of hand and heart

Turning the colors of yearning and laughter

Into a one-of-a-kind-work-art
