Ring go the bells
constantly ringing
night and day
never do they stop
vexing my soul
with thier unholy noise

My head throbs
and pulses
with each ring
How I wish for silence
but it never comes.

I reach out
to stop those bells
I can never seem to reach
I cover my ears
hope for the noise to go away.

Seconds later I come to realize
those bells are for me
if I don't answer
I surely will be late

So down the rabbit hole I fall
into reality's
deadly grasp
another day of life spent
fruitless pursuit
of nothing.

Until one day I will hear
bell's final ring
lay my head to rest
forever free of the
ringing in my head.

Hiya Brad and Good morning...

the only thought I have is be tolerant and believe...

Honey, I'm wishing you a wonderful day...may signficance penetrate what wise words you do so weave so that the entire world may reap from your insightful breeze.  Love to you

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

Oh, Brad. This one hurt. I also hope that
the bells will ring softly for you.
