Wind Chimes Likened to an angels soul, music from the Gods
Flowed as wind rippled over the crystal chimes
Slightly so lightly tinkles of sweetness pierced sky
Sound sweeter I've heard than a trilling bird
Vibrations of the purest chords comforting
Adopting me into the harmony of their nature
Memory resides within the personal tones of faith
I believe goodness will prevail
Merry Christmas Poets

Dellena,
"I believe goodness will prevail." Bless you. This, and a good cup of joe, makes all the morning difference.

Goodness will prevail. My dear, you find such interesting sound play with your rhyme, i.e., "slightly so
lightly tinkles"...almost onomatopoetic. Then the glowing with meaninging line, "Memory resides within the
personal tones of faith". In itself a pleasing tone of thought.
A poem superlative to its theme and sweet in its message, the nicest appropriation to Christmas I've so far
found.
Merry Christmas.

Hi Dellena,
The triumphant last line, "i believe goodness will prevail", leaves the reader with a profound sense of hope in these troubled times. This is a poem replete with hope and the 'wind chimes' add effectively to its message of peace and harmony. Very apt. Some nice images - wind rippled over the crystal chimes/ sweetness pierced sky.....
Should it read sound(s) sweeter than a trilling bird?
Duane.

Hi Dellena
"Flowed as wind rippled over the cystal chimes" is such a beautiful line,
one that perhaps shows poetry at its finest. No discordant undertones in the entire
of this poem, and the substance of the poem summed up in the "I believe goodness will prevail"
contains both a statement of who the poet is ("personal tones of faith")and a hope necessary
perhaps to most of us.
One of the reasons I also like this poem is because it is so important to remember the best
of what we can all be. That faith is necessary every time anyone watches CNN.
Merry Christmas to you.
Terry

Merry Christmas to you too Dellena.......Wind chimes surround my outside world.....all shapes and kinds. The largest of course giving off the closest music to the church about five miles from my home. So true are your words from beginning to end and one can see the angels watching over you as the music of their world begins......Thank you for sharing this inspiration with us; I pray you are warm in your part of the world though from the weather station it appears your not. We are in the middle of a black out due to ice here in New England.....two and a half days now......Bless our ancesters for they endured without what we take so often for granted...Be safe my friend, peace, love and joy along with good health follow you into the New year. Oh yes, I do believe goodness will prevail......God Bless, Claire
