Home Chime Home My very own windblown music comes not from my lips, but as the wind hums through wind chimes around my home, and music flitters right to my poems. Softening breezes gently eases twinkerings of delightful melodies, softening my spirits as I hear it and delighting me with memories. When winds howl with winter's scowl and the chimes clamor, oh just how the ringing still sounds cheerful, keeping winter from sounding fearful. Somehow the music seems to bring birds in flight and birds on wing straight to mix in blessed cacophony as they join with chimes' harmony. In the night, in my dreams the chimes join in my angels' scenes bringing forth harmonious sound enveloping me all around. So my home may be noisy to a few I'd rather think, however, that it's true my home is more like a musical fort and with that, I lift my Port. ©KRJ 15 January, 2000 Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Sunshine- You too? Oh, how I love the sounds of the windchimes all over my yard. The gentlest of breezes sets them singing ... the echos of their music constantly ringing. Fortunately I've not neighbors around, to object to the melodious sound. The chimes ring constantly for me, catching the sounds so Heavenly. *Thanks for the gentle tapestry of sound. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

My goodness, I was listening to the chimes sing on my front porch the other night, and I thought to myself I feel a poem coming on, only thing was I was going to bed, and now you beat me to it! Great minds think alike I guess! Thank you for the read, enjoyed it. |

Beautiful, Sunshine! I love windchimes too! So melodious!! Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Windchimes are a beautiful thing. No wonder this poem more than matches it. Lovely. ~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

Poetry written with the sound of a chime calming is the sounds devine No matter what's the time of day Let there me musical sounds I say I also love the sound they make And if the wind is still...I sneak up and give them a shake Very nice poem with such lovely ring to it The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

denise, may all of your days be melodious... astraea, thank you for coming in to listen... rus, having a part of one's poem be brought forth indeed creates a "stamp of approval".. thank you... pepper, thank you... PdV - waking up with twinkerings is a most lovely thing... Helmut - when the wind is very still, I too shake them for their sparkling thrill... Thank you everyone.
