we chimes

Post by emel.scott »

we chimes
each dangling
in solitude

randomly touch
in the grace
of the breeze

then share together
what we alone
will never be

I've been going back through and looking at things I may have missed or filed away in other parts of my mind while I was away...and this is a really nice piece on a day when I woke up to just enough wind and rain to try to shake the chimes. Good read!

Thanks for pulling this out of mothballs as it holds a timeless quality for me (it's the signature on my Gmails)

The last verse has evolved a bit since first penned. I wonder how anyone feels about the revision:

we chimes
each dangling
in solitude

randomly touch
in the grace
of the breeze

to share a chord
one voice alone
can never breathe
