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.

If it were up to me, I would leave it.
Sometimes all your feelings come together.

Together sometimes is tight like
an embrace all the feelings come out.

This poem is tight that way.

I disagree that it is to short i find it sublime
the wind playing poet with the wind-chimes , and with many a gentle touch ,
