"A good friend will understand the demons as well as the angels inside of you. Never judging you for it either." Christopher Walkden It's that resonance, chiming The notes fit, nothing jarrs Like church bells in the distance The soft feeling of prettiness It cleanses the air of negativity The sound of a happy day Then there's my skin Maybe it's numb Or perhaps I'm protected from sharpness Just for a little while I don't know how it works As the sound reverberates, I tingle I absorb it and the happy day is mine

Church bells are soothing and spiritual. Your poem conveyed the depth of ringing bells.

Thank you Hilda - they are special. Not very frequent unfortunately or maybe I need to travel to them these days. Thanks for your comment x

Thank you SV, I'm rarely in earshot these days for church bells but did feel resonance from chimes etc when I did the gong bath recently (meditation whilst musician leading plays a variety of amazing instruments) and it was very powerful x
