Wind chime

I was entranced one time

by the sound of a wind chime.

It was a little misplaced,

A birthday stuck in my calender

too late to celebrate.

It was melodius bells

not the religious kind

but the ones that made you wonder

about not whom but when

they created thunder

as it roars in my chest

a feeling so intense

as if I'm struck by lightning

even though it might be frightening,

I smile.

I hear it,

The sound of the wind chime.

Even though forgotten,

a memoir of time

I forgot that was mine.

A moment that ceased to exist

the second I shut the windows,

Doesn't matter how hard the wind blows

the bells don't ring

and I sit still

waiting for the thunder,

the lightning

to strike me down

hoping to be saved

by the sound,

My ears are ringing

to the alarming silence

of the wind chime.
