there are moments
shifting, like the patches of shade in a forest
where you feel a spark
a time of peace in a world of endless hustle and bustle
disconnecting yourself
watching the sun set over the water
finding the tips of the misty mountains at dawn
afterwards, there is a hush of understanding inside of you
then a rush to share the peace
with others just like you
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.
Okay so I was cleaning up my room when I found an old letter that I never sent to you. It has a really bad drawing of the 2 of us and "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" lyrics. The Red Sox version, of course. Anyways, I'm going to send it (along with a real letter) but I thought I'd let you know. Can you believe it took 5 tries to spell "thought" correctly? The letter isn't dated, but it talks about tamagotchis and webkinzs, so it's pretty old. Anyways, a snail mail letter to come!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited!!! I am going to my grandparents in a couple days, so you can expect a snail mail letter too ( I always have down time to write there). Can't wait to hear about your summer!
