The church bells sounded, <br />on distant air. <br />Ringing loud, but soft, <br />the wind embraced their sound <br />carried them aloft. <br /> <br />The church bells sounded, <br />on stillness everywhere. <br />They could never reach me <br />if they had not sounded there. <br /> <br />The church bells sounded, <br />on the air I breathed. <br />As I inhaled them <br />they rung not loud, but soft. <br /> <br />The church bells sounded <br />next to my heart <br />where they quietly resounded, <br />they found their home in me.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-church-bells-sounded/
