Both/and, yes? We used to call how literature shows the weather reflecting human emotions "the pathetic Fallacy"--but maybe nature responds first and that gets in our bones? I like how you move from a naughty teasing to the pain.
Brilliant lines, and I agree about the pathetic fallacy, as well as the personification in: 'The wind is naughty today again feebly teasing sometimes uncouthly caressing the chime'. I love the final lines: 'They feel your absence and miss you perhaps. Or do I?'
Love and longing are expressed in our minds by our observance of everything around us now that our loved one is not with us. It is as though we need to talk to and hear the words of things still with us for assurance that all will be well. What beautiful words you have written.
What a familiar view, what a wonderful sound of the chimes... even far away but a single thought can bring us back there in an instant. Thanks for sharing your memories and your feelings, Amit

DeleteBrilliant lines, and I agree about the pathetic fallacy, as well as the personification in:

and miss you perhaps.
Or do I?'
