ring
In the tower the bell
is alone, like a man
in his room,
thinking and thinking.
The bell is made of iron.
It takes the weight
of a man
to make the bell move.
Far below, the bell feels
hands on a rope.
It considers this.
It turns its head.
Miles away,
a man in his room
hears the clear sound,
and lifts his head to listen.

The Bell by Richard Jones
You are a bell
that rings
in another world.
You are a flower
that blooms
only when you are asleep.
Your soul is a bird that flies away
and in your grief you cannot see
how God delights in its return.
