Beautiful and musical poem, the bells ring and rejoice the hearts, the Christ Child is born and a time of joy and reflection.
I was delighted to read,
Congratulations!

    I glanced through some of your work, but Laren, I can't speak Spanish, ha!--wish I could. Maybe there is something in there English, or maybe if I try the few Spanish words I know, I can figure the poem out:)

Love this line in particular:

'melodies bringing the senses to sedation'

You bring out a real Christmas feel with your descriptions.

Best wishes, earl

Melody Bells

Ringing bells enjoyable to hear at a time.
It reduce irritation, lifting up your hearts.
Sigh, the Christmas bells ring.
The brand new hope is there, as you hear the
children ringing and carolers, the birth of Christ.

Through icy air our cherry cheeks glow
from listening to the metal ting of high and low;
church bells, sleigh bells, children ringing too.
Carolers ringing of Christ's birth, all hope brand new.

Very well done.
So wonderfully full of life.
Imagery is grand.
Colors are beautiful.

Thank you for such a beautiful witness.
Razz
