Evening chimes
Grey slants strolled
down the corridor
As I watch quietly by
The end of the day is
coming
And the world’s waving
goodbye
The blue sky has
turned whiter
Like whispers of mist
The wind blows softly
now
Like a goodbye kiss
The trees are losing
their shine
As the skies turn
grey
Sunset is soon but
not yet!
It’s only nearing the
end of day
Flowers fold their buds
to sleep
The birds return to
their nests
The songs of morning
are now quiet
As fits this peaceful
time best
You would have
thought me sad
That a beautiful day
had to end
But nay, I still
smile
For I have the wind
for a friend
And the wind would
not let any mourn
Or even frown at the
end of a day
For it flew in and
sang to me
Before it went on its
way
And it brushed the
wind chime as it flew
And how those chimes
sang!
Crystal clear, bright
and light
Like a silver bell they
rang!
And as I listened to
its song
Each note seemed to
say
Enjoy the night and
its splendor
For tomorrow’s
another beautiful day
