Quilt
The minutes and hours
and days and weeks
of its creation
were never marked on a calendar.
The quiet joy
that fashioned each block
from threads of sunlight
and mown hay
and dooryard chickens
and box socials
and early morning trips to the barn
and a thousand Sunday dinners
has passed beyond memory.
But love
from that long-forgotten parlor
still lives in every stitch.
