This has a wonderful soft musical quality to it, Old Bear. Just delightful, pleasant. No over-reach (something yours truly is sometimes guilty of), but a nice stretch in the 4th stanza, and then reverting to the beautiful image, wrapping it up in the last stanza. That is just good writing, putting in place a nice thematic structure in my opinion.

My imagination brought me to wind chimes in your poem. As I think you remember, I live in Vt. and this is the time of year when the snow base is usually deep, the sun lengthens, the sky is bluer, and the temperature a little bit warmer. I don't know if a "city slicker" would feel the same about your poem as I do, but I enjoyed it very much.

In fact, it's 5:30 am, and I'm reading it again with a cup of coffee.

I agree...

...with gm, this gentle, descriptive poem cups the heart with personal memories and a smile of recognition.

How nice to see another from you

And nice to see a slightly different take or mood.

You are becoming assured in your writing. You run the risk of entering the top tier of writers here. Take care.
