BELLS RINGING

     
                         Bells ringing off and on
                          or all on a sudden !
                       Bells to alert ! Whatever :
         Call of classes or shows to start or let those be over ! 
         Symbolising beginning and ending on scheduled hours.
             Bells give signal, making final.
        Bells of alarm clock ring giving wake up call.
           Door bells alarming family to welcome visitors.

         Reindeer driving sledge of Santa Clause
          sometimes with swift speed, sometimes giving pause ,
           as sledge running beside boxwood hedge hiding shy snowdrops,
             silver bells ringing on merriment.
              
          Bell of love suddenly rings in charm on special moment :
                        Auspicious, propitious.
          Mind dreamed, heart thrilled and soul sensed serenity.
                    Sound of chimes in wedding bell 
             to ward off evil spirits bringing good luck to newlyweds.
                 soft tinkling of tiny bells in anklet of bride.

                Cowbells in orchestra in rhythmic cadence .
                At bell tower of church, carillon
                 rings in soft sweet soothing tone.
               Jingle bells ringing in Christmas on joyous festive mode.
