The Symphony I Cherish
Outside my low window wide
opening on the verdant meadow
I hung resonant wind chimes
a pleasure for me to design.
The seven unequal steel rods
hollow from inside play the seven notes
making a concert with the sound of music
the gliding wind performs for me.
When at quiet dawn the butterflies flitter
on the flowers of the blooming garden
the scented breeze cascades to chime
with the rhythm of aria euphoric.
When through the gleam of the twilight dust
the tired birds return to their nests
the gentle wind rippling from their wings
creates a resonance of sonata ecstatic.
When the storm gale blows with melted clouds
from the edge of the dark night
the soft strokes of raindrops on the wind chimes
echo in my mind the melody of exaltation.
As the wind creates the mesmeric music for me
my heart pulsates to the cadence of rhapsody
and I hear it turn into my life’s symphony
I cherish.
