Stitch by stitch,
colors coming together
in a mosaic of beautiful tints,
a new row for each day.
This time the days
are tinted as temperatures
and skies.
One year,
each day would
have been all hot
yellows, oranges and reds.
Even the cool days
that year were filled
with the heat and longing
of new infatuation and
the promise of more.
Now the days have turned
to steadiness and true blue love,
with a mixture of heat waves
moving through.
This year’s mosaic
of tints is perfect.
