Notes About The Poem

The first wind phone was put up in Japan and has since become a precious site of pilgrimage while the idea has spread across the world and several wind phones have popped up. https://www.mywindphone.com/the-original-phone-of-the-wind 

Wind Phones

In many parks along peaceful walking trails
wind phones can now be found across the world.
With the help of an old rotary dial telephone,
mourners can speak freely to lost loved ones.

These phones are the direct line to the other side
for those who sadly never got to say goodbye.

Mourners can speak their heart into the wind
to help process their grief on the road to healing.
A phonecall has the power to release built-up anguish
for those longing to attain closure and a sense of peace.

Thank you very much for your lovely visit and comment, Sara ~ I've heard that a candle is a doorway to the other side... maybe you can improvise.
