Hear The Bells

Hear the bells 
ring
their melancholy sound 

Ringing, ringing

Throughout the valley
and
mountains all around 

Sending messages, greetings
and words of sadness
so profound 

Hear the bells 
ringing 

Ringing, ringing

Listen 
listen to their sound.

Fall Has Come

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Fall has come, its presence felt
The lane is crowded with leaves that fell
Geese fly through coloured hills
Their honks ringing against clear, blue skys.

While squirrels cache seeds
Nuts and whatever they can fill
Holes hidden hopefully to remember
In the cold winter still.

Sorrow, anticipation crowd my mind
At the last of summer as it falls to winter
In midst of such beauty that sends
Chills to the soul and thrills the mind.
