Did you ever ring a chapel bell then stand aside and wonder is it ever heard in hell? Did you ever ring a chapel bell? The damned will never tell if they hear its muffled thunder; did you ever ring a chapel bell, then stand aside and wonder? ©2003 by icebox |

I have never had the privilege of ringing church bells, but I have been very near to them when they have been ringing. I could feel the reverberations in my chest and it was a thrilling experience. It was as if God was imparting his energizing vibrations into the very core of my soul. I imagine that if I were to be with the bats in the belfry, they would be deafening--but pure ecstasy!  Besides the poem, I enjoyed the poem of the title! lol  EA |

Wow. Wow. I love this. I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

Perhaps the bell in this poem Might be thought of As a metaphor for a voice, Pealed out Into a firestorm of impulsive actions, And opinions? * After reading this poem And rereading it again, I stood aside and wondered. *************************** enjoyed the poem.....ice |

I wonder if some on this earth enjoy the sound of the chapel bell...if not, they would not appreciate the sound in hell...James |

Now, Iceman, this is a triolet. Very good, Sir. No, I never have rang a Chapel bell, but I sure have heard a lot of them. Now, if people in hell will hear them? I doubt it. Hugs to you Ethel |
