Why I Loved C D's Poem: Crystal Wind Chimes

Crystal Wind Chimes Crystal wind chimes to hang outside To bring cheer when her brother died She’d hear the tinkling with each breeze Melodic tones put her at ease And helped to cast her cares aside For so long she’d stood by his side But God had listened as she cried And he urged me to give her these Crystal wind chimes Think of him as crystals collide Soft, sweet whispers blessings confide No longer does her warm heart freeze She hears his voice upon each breeze – Crystal wind chimes Copyright © Carolyn Devonshire | Year Posted 2011 I loved reading this beautiful poem of Carolyn, as it shows her generous and kind heart of giving that perfect gift to someone who would need it in her time of grief. The "crystal wind chimes" serve as a perfect reminder of the brother whom the person has lost, and keeping that in mind, Carolyn gifts it to her. The rhymes are perfect and it is indeed a wonderful rondeau. Wind chimes enchant me and the picture of "crystal wind chimes" simply made this poem irresistible and an instant favourite of mine. 08.16.2021

I’m so happy to read this poem Jo. I missed reading it. I adore wind chimes so much so that my husband made two of them for me to hang. The largest sounds like church bells. This poem will go into my faves. Your comments about her are so true. She was an outstanding poet and a most beautiful soul and close friend. She is very much missed. Blessings xxoo

Thanks so much for sharing this with us, Jo. I was really struck by this line from Carolyn's poem because it made me think of the better place she is now, surrounded by warmth: No longer does her warm heart freeze. (so powerful)
