listen
for a       distant
                    chime

soft
                      brave
         demure

           listen
know
                when
the sound
                   springs
far
       so
               far

in the
                     fadesound
     aftersound
                     hear me
I am with
                  you
         in              you
               still

                  ever
quiet as
                    a distant
         chime

Tonight, when the wind
unlikely for the state
was quiet...

I went out and swung wide
the chimes...

A wonderful thought, "aftersound"...I think I'll try it!

Oh ... so that's the soft of what I heard, whispering ... whispering~

Beautiful piece~
Beautiful you~

The very word... aftersound... conveys tenderness... comfort... peace.

What an incredibly beautiful promise...

like sitting in both the past and present, listening to an orchestrated surrealism
painting the center of a whole
this was fantastic

I adore chimes, the sweet sound.. even without the breeze, the sound remains in the air and you set that afloat with your words and how they are spaced, dangling, delicate as the chimes... Lovely write.

I've been missing you, Jamie, so I thought I'd bring back the sound of this beautiful poem.

Bless you~~I've been so lonely.

I'm glad I had the notification turned on, so that I got one message from a friend on end-of-year day. I've been missing me too.

Truth is, I haven't been thinking of myself as a PiP member anymore, and I haven't been writing~~ too many of these, I guess [ /main/forumdisplay.cgi?action=displayarchive&number=92&topic=003631 ]and eventually I just quit without ever intending it, simply "lost it" for poetry and for many other things as well.

Still, I'm moved by this. I can't promise a result, but for you dear lady, once more anyway, I'll try.
