The Wind

The wind comes in at night, bringing with it new ghosts but I'm wrapped tight in mother's quilt, each painstaken swatch stitched by her own hand She sings a breathy lullabye and rocks me to sleep in the cradle of the wind

Lycia, mother's quilt is the magical armor offering protection from ghosts, cold winds, and all the frightening uncertainties of life. So beautifully expressed; I love the symmetry of the shape and the wind as bookends. Very touching, enjoyed very much ~ John
