Reminder
Chantal Ho
Riding through the neighbourhood
The sun shines through the leaves, I try
To hold this in my memory
You pull me back in case
I miss the sound of windchimes softly
Dancing in the yard above
The people sitting on the porch
Their laughs a warm embrace
The breeze decides to change direction
Blinded by the whirlwind, I
Start losing grip, I cannot see
The road in front of me
But the birds that sail the wind beside us
Their wings nudge me to look up
And see the sky, a calming blush
The world smiles at me now
