Poem

we thread together 
all moments of life
looking for a pretty 
quilt to display 
but some patches 
are misplaced
we overlook those
a missewn piece 
some edges frayed 
yet all the imperfections
all the dog-eared pages of
life give character 
to each story
the ragged sentences 
strewn together form paragraphs
and paragraphs are knitted into chapters 
chapters into books
great museums and galleries 
do not showcase tangled branches 
of families pulling up chairs 
and arguing at tables 
the candles burned
the laughter
the heartaches
the embraces
those landmarks of 
life and death are misfit 
like jigsaws with lost pieces
sometimes we are swept up 
in thoughts that drift away 
and leave scars 
we slip on tears and 
are spoon fed air
leaving us empty like 
promises that glide away 
into hollow futures
let the scars shine like badges
trophies to unsung heroes 
let the ruby slippers take you home
to watch winter sunsets 
to unwrap Christmas sweaters 
and rock babies to sleep 
for they are the new chapters
stitch together all the torn rags 
and colorful fabrics to make 
keepsakes of your own
