Artist Marjett Schille -- "The Quilt" c. 2006
The Quilt
To rest,
the blanket soft
and warm, the breadth
of worry gone —
but then ……..
no heart of stone
the walls of refuge
thoughts have built.
This quilt,
the stories comforting,
a place of rest
from thoughts of guilt
for those with less —
and less than none,
but nonetheless……
To rest,
the blanket soft
and warm……..

That photo, that I thought was your artistry, initially, is very apropos for the story that the poem suggests.
