The chimes

 





Reverberations of mild waft

Resound with a faint clang

Fragile rippples in the air

The footmarks of an unseen tiptoe

Perceptible to a vigilant mind

Only when someone cares to absorb

The sighs of concealed emotions

And a thud of agitated heart

That still doubts an acceptance

And understanding of his beat

The chimes are a subtle symbol

Of a raging storm deep within

If only someone would stop to listen.

The orchids

 


Vivid and exquisite, your petals

That spread like a bold enigma

Much like your invisible fragrance

Or cascading memories in your presence.

When the buzz digs deep into nectar

You recoil to bring breath to breeze

The hues resonate with butterflies 

And color the vagabond rainbows

Tender petals of dazzling dreams 

Held by pragmatic hardened twigs 

Your myriad shades of pink, purple, yellow

With contrast of faded trail to turgid  pistil 

With a promise to bring another morn

Vibrant and fragrant days to forever follow.
