Notes About The Poem

Church Bells


The church bells echoed 
     chimes across the field
          and filled the air with
wonders of their cause.

At first my ears 
     deciphered peace and joy-
          yet too, those echoes 
shed a solemn tone.

The church bells echoed
     chimes across the field;
          their mournfulness now
bellowed through the sky.

Those echoes touched
     my heart- as if I knew
          they tolled in tribute
to a rising soul.
