    Springs Chimes

    In bed on the bitterest of night,
    Waiting for the spell of sleep to be cast upon me.
    Night so silent. No birds chatter or roaring sea,*
    No sound, but the soft sighing wind blowing through my tree,**
    Till I hear a sweet, soft melody
    Belonging only to a fairy
    Banging her mini pots and pans,
    Or could it be a dryads band?
    With dryads dancing, bells at their feet.
    What is this mystical sound so sweet,
    That have awoken my dreams from slumber so deep.
    I reach for my velvet, red curtain and pull it to see,
    This music that has woven an enchantment upon me.
    What is thy shimmer upon the tree top,***
    Is it an angels harp that has been so violently caught.
    I race down the aged steps, and through the stone door,
    And stood underneath my tree to see,
    That it was not The faint whistle of an Elvin king,
    Nor a harp attached to a fairies wing.
    Not the sound of splendor,
    Or the sound of dreams,
    But the sweet, sugared, sound of soft spring chimes! ****

    Nice expression of the hypnagogic state before sleep. I, too, dream of fairies. The sounds often have a base in reality, for me to fly in my dreams is to dig my heals into my mattress. Maybe that will be my next poem; see you are my muse. Smile. Olan

    beautiful thoughts dedicated to the mystical windchimes. they date back to ancient times varying in sound and contruction worldwide. to hear them and focus on their delicate song, is a magical experience. great, great write Miriam.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
