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.

Loneliness

A jagged line
Seems to separate you
From others
Sometimes you feel so
Isolated
Alone
Surrounded by company
Yet perfectly solitary
Like looking out across
A great canyon
And waving at the people on the other side
When you know they cannot see you
Like speaking through a door
That you know is too thick
Or trying to run through water
Suspended in a state
Where no one can find you
You float through empty space
Yet you shoot for the moon
Whiz past the stars
Flip over and over
Through the universe
Glad to be lonely
Glad to be alone

    Claire, this is an incredibly beautiful poem. Is this one of your originals?

    Yes, anything that does not say "Shakespeare" next to it is original. Thank you so much! I am glad you like it...
