Charlie Knowlton Poet Free verse

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.
