Inspiration at last!!!

So I have decided to try something that I am very scared to do, but feel it is necessary for my current state of mind. I have made the decision to write a poem/song lyric everyday from now until the end of the year. That means 184 days including today. This decision has been sprung from an internal wish to improve my writing skills in terms of song lyrics and poetry since I love enjoy both of these beautiful art forms. This will be posted to Facebook everyday/night and i would love it if everyone who reads them would leave comments, suggestions, etc, etc.. I already wrote one for tonight which was completely inspired by the by a neighbor's decoration.
BONUS: First person who can figure out what the song is about they get a prize. The winner will be the first person who leaves a comment mentioning the object of the song.

Rustling in the wind
Dangling from above
Music fills the air
With your invigorating songs
Light hits your surface
Gleaming with joy
While daylight dampers
Till the next day dawns

Jingle you say as each gust blows
Tingle like warm the sand between my toes
Silence is not in your dictionary
Your songs are far more than ordinary

Enduring to the end
Never cease to fight
Holding back your voice
Would defeat your purpose
People watch you dance
Smiling all around
Hoping every night
The wind brings you a gust

Jingle you say as each gust blows
Tingle like warm sand between my toes
Silence is not in your dictionary
Your songs are far more than ordinary

This simple artistry
That let you come to be
The nature of your songs
Make people sing along
It doesn’t matter much
That you can’t whine or fuss
Cause we love you so much

Jingle jangle as each gust blows
Tingle like warm sand between my toes
Silence is not in your dictionary
Nor will it ever be
Your songs are far more than ordinary
