It sounds as though you have developed your own meditation method here. Of course, there is no way to control the weather, but the elements of meditation are there. The frantic surface mind is calmed by the sound of the chimes, the eyes close and a deep breath imposes a stillness of the mind. The imagination creates a peaceful scene, and all concerns of the conscious mind are gone. If you can do this for 20 minutes at a time every day, your stress level will plummet.

What a serene decorative scene you have created here. Soothing tune of wind chimes and closed eye can take us another place, another level... Where only peace prevails! Musicality is heaven and wind chimes are perfect in this regard. Reading your beautiful poem I swayed my wind chimes attached to hallhallway to hear it's soothing tune. . . Thank you for sharing

Wind chimes are soothing and calming, particularly the bamboo kind, full of Eastern promise. A little bit of meditation goes a long way especially in the challenging times we find ourselves in. An imagination helps too. Have a lovely day my young friend.

Nice one Chris and good to see / hear you are getting with the Far East influences - they certainly have a lot to teach the West.

Hello, Christine! :)
Reading this was like a vacation. I felt some stillness. I could hear the hollow bamboo; they don't clang like metal chimes I usually hear. Thanks for sharing.

Yes the bamboo chimes are comforting. I love that hollow sound as they knock gently together. I think yours are well worth repairing :)

I love the way you chose Bali to describe peace, green, fresh air, mountains, gong music, hand made wood chimes which play melodies that put you in a trance-like state. Your poem is that peaceful and calming, with not a care in the world. Bali is my favorite place in the world, everything about it is curative, friendly, welcoming, cultural, and on and on.....it's bringing back joyful memories....
Thank you so much for sharing.
Best, B

It’s very special and so was your poem!
Best alway, Betty
This feels like such a wonderful, peaceful, and sleepy flight, and I love that about this! A tone I rarely see poems take up and you made it work so, so well. It's so peaceful and though we can't be on vacation, you show us to appreciate our mind too, because it can take us anywhere, and so can your poetry.
