The Windchime Lady

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Poetry | 2 comments

Windchimes of all sizes and shapes hang around her porch waiting for a gentle breeze. Chimes made of chrome, brass, bamboo, wood, and glass swing sweetly while chiming with ease. Walking by, I see a woman sitting in a rocking chair listening to the magical music play. Known only to me as The Windchime Lady, I see her while walking to school each day. For now, I have only paused, listened, and smiled, so many times. Some day, I will stop, ask her name, and all about her beautiful windchimes. Views:...

Between two strands of barbed wire, the snow covered web looked to be crocheted by the spider. Views: 47
