SQUARES OF BLUE...
Squares of blue
- All different
Many jeans and designs
Cut up and sewn together
And tie - tacked.
When done make a quilt.
When I look at the sea of blue
All the many shades of colour
I think of people, humans
- The souls of men.
How we are all different
Yet when together make a whole.
some quares are new, others old
Some bright, others faded\
Textures from the thick
thin to soft.
All got that way by being
Worn of the owner.
Humanity has warmth,
Character
When we learn from one another
And work as one.
So much can be accomplished
When we allow others
To gather us
Into the wholeness of their lives,
We become a blanket
Unified from Love.

Cinda Welcome to PS, I really enjoyed this poem it had the depth of unity but the blanket of society is also a beautiful metaphor that should be used more often to express friendship, family and community. A great write! I really enjoyed it!

Ahh the various pieces of a quilt stitched together. Very metaphoric. Reminds me of a poem I wrote once about a mosaic. Exalt! Exalt! Exalt! And I do so look forward to getting to know you better around PoetShare. Nice to meet you, cinda. Hugs and Happy Posting Stacy
