Song of Wind, Song of Light

Susan Lendroth writes for adults and children, including picture books. She loves history, mystery and finding rhyme in unexpected subjects. "Song of Wind, Song of Light" is on Short Circuit #01, Short Édition's quarterly review.

seeming mute while wind chimes sing,
but sunshine sparks cantos of light
from each iridescent wing.
