Wind Chimes

The earth moaned under the heat. On the porch wicks drowned in melted citronella candles under limp wind chimes. Withered vegetation drooped. Finally – a grey morning mist gently moistened cracked soil. The parched land lifted its head, listened as the wind chimes began to dance. The thunderclap announced the resurrection; the downpour was redemption. August 27, 2018 For contest: Wind chimes Sponsored by Edward Ibeh

Very original, Agnes, Best to you in the contest. I knew a few people who could be called health freaks and most of them died from cancer and other diseases. So much for all the money they spent on "organic" foods, vitamins, etc. etc. Thanks for the stop by. / M

Oh, an absolutely breathtaking poem, Agnes.. I could feel the welcomed relief of the resurrection and redemption (such great imagery) and I could feel the wind in the dancing chimes.. your last four lines, especially, are stunning! Best wishes for a win my friend.. ~Susan
