Quilts and Guilt

Chains
Of obligation
Link by link
Grow heavier
Until you sink.
Not who I thought
I would be
Hidden
Covered by life
And other's wishes
Gathering Dreams
I wrap them around me
Like Grandma's quilt
To be warm again.

Plum Done...

 Kept the chair everyone liked

kept the rust I liked

I know you're tired but I am too

Never thought I would get through.

 The pink, uh, Plum room is done.

From ceiling to floor

I've done all I can

Can't do no more.

 My radio rests by Grandpa's bed 

ready for guests to lay their heads.

First you viewed corner one

now corner two

I may change it again

and surprise you.

All the animals are in two rooms

the adjoining half bath

and the bedroom too.

Permission granted to laugh.

 Aunt Mary's quilt will grace the bed

along with soft green sheets

and pillows for your head.

If there's trouble with the door staying open

I created a door stop to go with the theme

My favorite furry flip flops

Have joined the Plum team.
