Clear Throated Bells

I talked to her late last night Her fresh wakened sleep filled voice Talked to me before she was quite awake It stumbled over itself saying things She wasn't aware . didn't think she knew Her hello's, lilting shadows flitting across the moon lit room Cheerful heart gladdening words I love to hear, she talks Matters not what Family, working hours, children She talks of things the world knows I listen, she said thank you Thank you for calling, the voice said Thank you Pealing clear throated bells Said thank you I still listen and hear the ringing of the bells

James, Been there, felt that, and gave the same thanks. Even now after nearly fifty years, I can still hear those pealing bells even if now, as then, I am the only one to hear them. Excellent work my friend. Best...Will
