~Windchime~




From my white window beauteous
Hangs a windchime since many days,
Seven sticks of whose in delight plays,
My life’s musical notes as it sways.

With every blow of air and each drop of rain,
The windchime starts to sing and swing,
To remove the patches of unheard pains.

The memories when usher sleepless nights,
The seven sticks join to sing lullaby
Soothing the soul, the music turns
Pained memories to a lifelong gain.

In the vastness of my blue skies,
My heart, like a small paper kite flies,
My mind’s strings doesn’t let go-
My mercy pleas to sorrows in denial dies..

Yet dances merry the fragile kite in the sky,
With every beat of the old windchime
And when my heart loses its path and weeps,
The windchime’s tunes holds me aloft and high..

Whenever the soothing air seems far away,
And gloomy remains the world, all night and day
Hope is what my windchime never loses..
The hope of air, and the hope of rain
And the hope itself becomes "The Music of Silence".

  3. nice one dear....i am in love with your window now where my fav chimes hang.....

    when the tears slide down
    when the smiles are lost
    when the life packed with troubles
    when the heart is in search of peace

    let me be there beside you
    not to enjoy those dew drops
    but to listen 2 da music frm chimes
    help me forget the rest of da world

    dear, white window am in love wid u
    not for the beauty that you show
    but for the beauty u r urself
    and smiles dat ur chimes bring me

    i felt these lines after reading your poem dear....hope you like them...!!!

  25. 2 more days to go! all set to welcome the new year?

  26. A good song of hope.
    Esp the last lines speaks dimensions of your abilities- one dreams of such an ending. You have done that.
    Keep composing more and more such poems.
    The poem is just perfect. :)
    1 insignificant thing I would like to say here- your 2nd stanza is of 3 lines , while all others are of 4 lines-
    So just try to make the pattern consistent in every stanza.
    This does not robs the poem of it's beauty anyways...
