Flying up through sunlight and cloud
You float up slowly, enjoying the view
A jet streams past, its engine loud
This exhilarating feeling, so precious and new
You glide through turrets of billowing white
Streaked with colors: orange and red
Loving every moment of this incredible flight
Your body tingles from your toes to your head
How did you get there?
Why are you here?
Going to where?
Are you even near?
You cherish every second you are in the air
The questions fly away as you soar high
Then a bird swoops in and you are a pair
Towards the heavens you gently fly
Welcome to the Quilt of Dragonflies. Like a quilt, I have a bit of everything...Patterns you may not think would come together until you see them as a patchwork. I attempt to convey my view of the world through daily poems, and sometimes quotes or pictures. Shel Silverstein once wrote, "If you are a dreamer, come in." ~Claire
The Story of my Blog Title
Quilt of Dragonflies- My blog is named that for a reason.I am lucky enough to own a genuine Quilt of Dragonflies, which I am sure brings me good dreams when I sleep beneath it. It was given to me by a friend of my mother's, who handmade the entire thing. Color meets pattern in this fantastic piece of artwork which sits on my bed. Brilliant shades of purple, blue, and green intersperse with tie dye dragonflies. I will not hesitate to call it my inspiration.
