A chapter in the book Octograms
A Church Bell Rings
by adewpearl
As roosters crow at break of day, a church bell rings -- its voice intones as clappers sway while nature sings, of all life's possibilities that float upon the morning breeze and bob upon the burbling springs. A church bell rings. As fields reveal their sweet sachet, a church bell swings, inviting all who hear to pray for all faith brings -- for hands that reach to those in need and bind the wounds of those who bleed. For mendicants and richest kings, a church bell rings. |
