Postcard from Here
how I wish that you were here
to watch the sunset with me
lull of night song in the air
under the hickory tree
we would talk for hours on end
over cups of jasmine tea
solve the world’s ills and then
retire to sleep, to dream
how I wish that you were here
to glimpse the sun’s first light
streaming through the junipers
it is such a lovely sight
with the mountains all around
scent of blossoms on the breeze
songbirds’ happy trills, the sound
of wind whistling through the trees
how I wish that you were here
to watch the sunset with me
to glimpse the sun’s first light
under the hickory tree

Thank you Peter. I love that wind chime. It was one of top items on our to-do list to install when we moved. It has a reverberating resonance that soothes me to my toes!

We paid a huge sum for some wind chimes but they are musically tuned and so worth the money.

I too paid a pretty penny, tuned as well. I’ve never regretted it! 😊

We have a starling who replicates the chimes very well, just like a perfect echo!
