Wind Chimes

I enjoy my patio; my peaceful place

A breeze caresses the wind chimes; tinkling faery bells begin the melodic tunes

Neighboring homes soon join in; songs of shells and deep basso bamboo

Takes me to a spiritual realm, my meditative state is vital to my life

My senses become heightened; I clearly smell the tobacco from my grandfather’s pipe

Legends say these bells call upon our ancestors; I am proof that it is true

Benevolent spirits guide us from the other side, encouraging relaxation

Opening up to an inner peace where all things small produce the most upbeat feelings

A healing journey that inspires me; deep appreciation for things once taken for granted

Thankful for every single moment I chant OM.
