A Moment In Chime

The little legs of my wind chimes dangle, and giggle a nervous tune each time a soft breeze tickles the soles of their feet. And as a bluebird on a red tin roof looks on with indifference, for a moment I am 8 years old again. A time when time itself did not move and everything a simple and joyous wonder.
