| Painting by Richard Burlet “Woman in Blue” |
Life is a patchwork of poetry
filled with verses and symmetry
sewn with a feather light stitch
hues of blue moonlight: rich
pieces of me and pieces of you
I've got the patchwork blues
dreaming of you under bamboo
Fabrics of the lives we live
along the way we learn to give
loves a quilt of vibrant color
don't let it be torn asunder
pieces of me and pieces of you
I've got the patchwork blues
dreaming of you under bamboo
How to mend a misshapen heart
don't want the seams to fall apart
precious blocks of boundless time
creating our own special design
pieces of me and pieces of you
I've got the patchwork blues
dreaming of you under bamboo
Scraps of our lives quilted together
warming us no matter the weather
I know I should let these feelings go
but, our story still needs time to grow
pieces of me and pieces of you
I've got the patchwork blues
dreaming of you under bamboo
