Yellow Twinkling Bells

Sitting in a crowded room filled to the brim with unfamiliar faces Through the chatter, there is a burst of oddly familiar laughter The moment it is heard, my heart is disturbed - off to the races The sound is that of yellow twinkling bells, and my soul swells Yellow - associated with the sun and unadulterated joy Casting radiant light into limitless darkness Bright and shining, a force to dismantle the continuous night without ploy A vibrant color, painted on canvas skies and blooming across spring wilderness Twinkling Bells - associated with peace Small bells heard at Christmas time, Weddings, and inside rattles alike Symbolizing a wondrous occasion, a day to be overflowing with joy Soft, elegant sounds, with accompanying calm as though on a midsummer hike Together this ringing is one of a kind, a true rarity to find I heard your bells once, what feels like a lifetime ago Hearing them again is like coming home 1 December, 2021
