Colorful Quilt

My existence,

An asymmetrical quilt

Of multicolored patches,

Tessellating patterns,

Of me

Harbors minute pieces

Of Alabaster Anglo

Like specks of stars,

Whimsical yellows

And scattered greens

Bordered my dreams

Of violin strings and

Painted bouquets.

Lonely blues

Spill across stitches

And down threads

And reaches

Tiny feathers

Of me

Harbor sad songs

On ebony keys

Like towering trees,

Creative colors

Blended to black

Clasped together

Like innocent youth.

This quilt is not

Perfectly matched.

It’s lopsided,

No color scheme,

Just hues,

And it

Harbors my soul

And wraps

A rainbow

Around any life

And is a remnant

Of me.
