Church Bells
Six o’clock
On the dot
The bells ring
And the choir sings
Such a peaceful sound
Not too quiet,not too loud
It fills me with peace
How i wish it wouldn’t cease
I want it to continue
Never to stop but start anew
But it never does and maybe never will
Such momental peace is hard to fulfill
It sounds so soft and light
Gives me the sensation of something in flight
Till tomorrow the church bells remain my source of joyous peace
That smoothes the surface of my world and gets rid of any wear or crease
Six o’clock
On the dot
My favourite time of the day
The time when peace reigns.
Writer’s thoughts:
The church bells in this poem isn’t symbolizing anything, it’s straightforward and to the point. Whenever I hear the church bells that ring near my abode, it fills me with something beyond tranquillity, there’s just this stillness that comes with the sound, it’s almost as if everything stills, the wind, the clouds and even the birds grow rather quiet, everything kind of stops to hear the bells and the choir which almost always sing “oh come all ye faithful”. I think the song pairs quite nicely with the bells, it brings a kind of tingly sensation to your ears. When these bells ring it gives me the image of a quiet garden with beautiful sceneries and a fountain flowing with crystal clear water.
What is the image that comes to your mind when the church bells ring?
