Cradled in the Quilt of Now
Stop your churning
and hop up onto the Quilt of Now.
Settle into the soft heart at the center,
and let it cradle you like a hammock.
The scalloped edges are wings that will lift you
from the muddy fields of the future
and the weeds of regret
to exactly where you are meant to be.
You can thrash,
or you can relax
enchanted by the stars
like a baby seeing them for the first time,
recognizing in the vast space overhead
the angels you knew before you got here.

Beautiful imagery and metaphor in this poem. I found it uplifting and hopeful at the same time. Thank you, Cheryl!
Thank you, Kate, for the kind words. I’m glad you found it uplifting. That’s how I felt writing it and rereading it myself.
Love it!
Thank you, berniecremin!
