What Is Not Heard Someone looks up from the street possibly to see music swinging from chimes that are normally quiet or at least the walkers may imagine what they might, if they even see through half-opened blinds… ![]() but these chimes are special, from another land, carried via passage from a long ago yesteryear, or so it seems; from another place, another time when there was a chocolat love, a Konrad spirit of want, and they, the chimes, they have decided that they remained quiet for far too long… and the wolf howls possibly they had to know a need in this, their new room; but it did not matter if the window was open, or if a fan was blowing… for now, in the middle of the night, when the moon listens, they sing and swing, a soft clinking of right, we agree, tinkling sweet sounds a mesmerizing syncopation and what the passersby don’t hear are the pleasant fantasies such sounds bring me beyond the blinds, and in steamed blush, the windows agree. " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

Hi Sissie....I know the shape and sound of those, a whisper made even softer by mood and imagination. Worthy of a poem. ![]() |

The source of my imagination from early childhood and unto this day. My cousin gave me a set of chimes at my daughters funeral. And because the wind does not inspire me often enough they hand on my closet door. Yes you have again touched deep inside of me. Lovely is this piece. ![]() If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

that would be so cool to have music on the streets, listening to some Pink Floyd or Bach, or any Jim is fine with me, some flowing trippy stuff to enjoy the night, the dusk and dawn. |
