BEYOND THE BELLS-A poem



I live in a land
beyond the bells.
No church bells
tolling the toiling
of men and women,
beast and God.
No school bells
called to life
by girls and boys
in sweaty jeans,
pulling on a gnarly
rope. It is only
now, as I listen
to the gathering
silence, that I miss
the bells.

John Robert McFarland
