Thought patches sewn into a quilt to warm away the cold, dreams of stray thoughts, sin and guilt, lace of life takes hold.
The mind the true and trusted sage that causes thoughts to bend, to touch upon a gilded age, weave of mortal end.
A blanket born of toil and strife is thrown upon the sands, covered by the steps of life and lifted in our hands.
I woke unto this quilt of night and felt its threading break. Love was lost within its sight. I felt its tearing ache.
I shook it gentle in the breeze to cleanse it as before. No more patches such as these that lie upon the floor.
Once again through naked screen, closing eyes to rest, I dream of sunlight on the green to ease my aching breast.
Folded edges of slumber sky, the dream quilt pure and white. Here beneath it sleeping lie, I dream of you this night.
