John Donne Strikes Again

Dark clouds: emptiness abides.
White clouds: emptiness abides.
See yourself through these windows of the world.
What are you waiting for?
Remember, we stopped using 'for whom' years ago.
Yet, John Donne still rings true.
Just ask.
"Yes, I say.  Just simply ask to toll the bell,
        for the bell is you, ringing, ringing simply you."
