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
