Morgan's Quilts

There's something special about Morgan's quilts
the fabrics blend like a romantic rendezvous
colors race like a comet in some
or stand like still water in others
like a gypsy patterns dance or
sing of lullaby in a windy whisper
It's hard to pick a favorite
I like them all because they fit my moods
Each quilt has a story...a life
and feverishly pulls it's own history
methodically before your eyes
thread by thread united in oneness by love
and a gift of warmth and reminiscent charm
Bits of cloth join as if born into family
never judging...but giving
disregarding color, caste, nationality
only concerned with a common creed
To be shaped by Morgan's hands in to art
that God wills because much is required
of those that much is given
and Morgan is a giver
Yes, there's something special about Morgan's quilts
and only he can tell their stories

The Situation September 26, 2023 at 12:43 PM Being a senior from Miss. I come from a quilting heritage. Looking back and thinking I often slept with them. they kept uou warm. The designs were extra. But they tell of a time gone by before TV. Karen Jones September 26, 2023 at 3:35 PM This poem was about Dr Robert Morgan my university professor who is now in his 80s but is was a quilt maker. Interesting enough he taught at my Christian college in the bible belt Carolina but is VERY feminine. I think he was gay before it was as open. Still love him he is brilliant.
