Windchime Row

A description of a fishing colony by the sea , of which I have very fond memories.

A fishing colony by the sea , just beside the beach .
A little street and left and right , five shanties each ,
and two more on the right hand side , they're abandoned though ,
the fishing colony by the sea I call Windchime Row .

 

Whenever I happen to be walking down that lane ,
I almost never ; fail to hear ; every now and then ,
the wind playing poet with the windchimes , and with many a gentle touch ,
composing so many wordless rhymes that speak just as much ,

 

as if a thousand songs were sung , but you have to have the ear ,
and the belief in your heart  , only then you can hear ,
the poetry in the gusts of salty sea breeze , as they come and go ,
in the fishing colony by the sea I call Windchime Row.

I don't think I've read anything of yours that I just didn't love.. You are an amazing poet.. You always make me feel like I'm right there with you seeing it, smelling it, and feeling it on my own.. Simply beautiful..x

Windchimes do sing poetry if the listening is open enough. And the sea, and the wind. It's a gift to be able to recognise it though Abhijit. Then to write it down is to pass on that gift to others. Lovely.
