A door proclaims its ding and dong
voltaic birds bounce to its tintinnabulum,
flickers of auricular featherings
wipe shelves of a million years of dust.

It lives a spiritual humming,
A strumming rhythm of natures
Raw essence.

Pours the twilight round  the mountains’  curtains,

Drawing together their  shades’

  With rhymes to sing and stories to tell
       Although from afar I hear them come  
   My heart shall sense,
