Wind Chimes (2007, 2009)



Small sounds

twinkle in the ear -

soft velvet touch.

Invisible fingers

quietly mingle

on a weathered cheek,

with sullen humid arvo sweat.

Bleating echoes in the wind;

desiccated foliage rustles,

let’s as creaking floorboards

 whisper willowed memories -

childhood's laughter rings;

clarion of tomorrow fades.

    It is interesting how the mere sound of something can stimulate feeling unearthed from the past. Some sounds are well fit to evoke images in and of themselves and in this case wind chimes tell of the breeze and their high pitched echoes sound like the wind itself. Well written my friend

          My friend, this brought back memories of sitting outside on summer evenings listening to sounds drift in from nowhere and everywhere at once. Funny how a simple sound can open a door to years gone by. This captured that feeling wonderfully. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
