Wind Chime

Motifs as varied as the notes they sing,
hanging from your front porch or tree.
Small silver bells on delicate chains ring,
swaying softly in a warm gentle breeze,
Or dancing chaotic within a storm.
Hollow bamboo sections of different lengths,
resonate a sound that is rich and warm.
Metal cut into varied shapes has strength,
colored glass in geometrical shapes,
offers you a teasing tinkling sound.
A graceful addition to your landscape,
you can have one or spread a few around.

A wind chime sings gentle to your spirit,
they calm your soul each time that you hear it.
