Melodic Motion

The chiming of wind chimes hanging from my porch,
Calm my soul with the soft tinkling to my ears
As the breeze moves them with melodic motion
Carrying me away from worries or perpetual thoughts
With perfect timing, as trees sway and clouds float by
Each chime beats with my heart, in this precious moment
When my life is as simple as a sweet tune from a breeze
All wrapped in what I hear, with a breath and nothing more
A place where I can rest, in Mother Nature’s chiming song
