The Blue moon shines brightly
Birds seek safe shelter in the branches
Fireflies dancing in the meadow

When I saw this blue shibori fabric it brought thoughts of a blue moon. The stone doorway leads to a meadow with butterflies and birds seeking the shelter of the trees as night falls. The firefly’s bright lights shimmer in the twilight of the meadow. The cobalt shadows of the forest beckon you to follow the fireflies to see their dance among the flowers and grasses.
