Church Bells

Dawn Finds me Behind church pews, Draped in a Sabbath veil As fingers light tray of candles: I whisper prayerful incantations Raising heart’s flame for earth’s solace- Till bells Peal. New Form--The BELL Contest of John Anderson Written 6/15/2017

Makes me aware how holy intentions make bells ring as a sign of answered prayer. Truly an outstanding poem. Thank you!
