Sitting in the sun
on this tiny landing
I listen to my wind chimes
moving idly in the Spring breeze,
their mellow sound
punctuating the chirrups and shrieks
of busy nesting birds.
My cat, lying on the step
by my feet,
ignores all these noises —
just likes to be
in the sun, with me.
“I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.” ~ Vincent van Gogh

As I listen to mine greeting autumn. I love the peace and quiet contentment in this poem.
