i do not know
if bamboo wind chimes
ward off evil spirits
maybe they do
or whether they entice
souls of the departed
to revisit their loved ones
all things considered
but as I sit in this garden
with a light breeze blowing
on a true blue sky day
in blistering heat
i hear music
there is something so
satisfying in the gentleness
of that subtle hollow sound
of canes clacking softly
while suspended from
a beam on our deck
close your weary eyes
take a long deep breath
be still and hear nature’s notes
her unique playful
composing
imagine being in Bali
barefoot and fancy free
beside the mountains
far far away where all
concerns are going going
gone
wind stirs in strands
of uncombed holiday hair
not a care in the world
drift in thought flight
all is well, all is peace

A fine write, Cassie.
Thanking you Jerry for your visit. Much appreciated.
It's a blistering storm rather, today. lol.
A sharp contrast we are having from the heat of Bali. The weather has been so awful, I resurrected this poem from my archives. Thank you Orchi.
The only thing to do in the cold wet winter. Thank you for bringing Bali and the summer sun to us all! A wonderful poem! ❤️
Thank you Tristan. Our weather has been so awful, I had to dig deep in my archives to find this one. Pleased you enjoyed Bali.
I am glad you found it! You are welcome, Cassie! I always enjoy reading your work! ❤️ Here's to better weather! 🤞
What a wonderful poem. It transported me to happier climes. Excellent cadence and I now hear the music in the wind.
Hello David. I love wind chimes too. Pleased you enjoyed the wind music here in this poem. Many thanks for stopping by.
Wind chime music can be beautiful and satisfying. I unfortunately live too close to others to allow me the indulgence of ownership. Your piece gave me much vicarious pleasure though, Cassie – thanks.
What a beautiful review Dave. Pleased you enjoyed my efforts. Thank you so much. Resurrected because the weather here has been the pits.
It's a small world, Cassie - the weather here hasn't been too clever either.
Well, I hope I brought you a little sunshine. It is abysmal here and has been for three days.
Stick with what you do know, how gorgeous is your imagery, I was floating into my own summertime memories for a moment. 🌹
Thank you dear Teddy. The weather here has been so drear, cold and wet, I thought a trip to Bali might do the trick. Pleased it sent you floating on your own memories. 🌹
Wonderful words Cassie.
Andy
Thank you Andy. I hope you enjoyed the better weather in my poem. What an abysmal few days we have had here. All the best.

A beautiful poem,

be a bummer.
Rock solid penning poetess!! 💯
Best wishes 🍀 🤗 🌹 🐦. Thad
Thank you Thad for brightening up my morning with your lovely review. All the best to you.
The most peaceful poem about a call, sound nicely worded with beautiful images of serenity
Many thanks for your lovely comment. Pleased you enjoyed this poem Soren. Have a great day.
With most poems here on MPS i don't get past the first stanza - it takes a special write to hold my attention but this one surely did - super piece Cassie.
Thank you Michael. You have just made my day. Pleased you enjoyed my musing. All the best.
