Church Bells

It’s 11:45.

I must head outside

to hear the church bells ring.

I grab my blanket.

Head out the door

And search for a place .

It’s 11:50

And I’ve found a spot

To hear the church bells ring.

Laying on the grass,

The sun is shining,

And the birds are all singing.

It’s 11:58

And I’m waiting

To hear the church bells ring.

I close my eyes

And enjoy the peace,

waiting for the magic.

It’s 12 o’clock

And I have begun

To hear the church bells ring.

The clock tower strikes,

Counting out twelve.

Then the magic begins.

It’s 12:11

And I have stopped

Hearing the church bells ring.

There were 5 in row.

5 different songs

That left me in a trance.

It’s 12:15

And I head inside from

Hearing the church bells ring.

I do not regret

The time I spent

Listening to the small things.
