Music Box Church Bells

Music box church bells
over river rocks in a week-long dream;
the rosewood resonance still there come the daylight hour
with walnut splines for the curve of that fine aural wheel.

Music box church bells
in the snow-brush fingers of your gloves at sunset fall
with quilted maple and the movement gone melodious 
was religion enough, and that's enough...my love...that's all.
_______

for Tree Sisters.

Thank you to The Wood Whisperer for information about making a music box.

  2. For my Sundays simply the sound of the bells is enough... i prefer the sermon of snow in the woods.

  4. Sunday church bells... I love the sound. I would rather go to my spiritual place with the sound and not the walls. Beautiful piece

  5. I am in awe of this piece --- the first two lines, the phrases "rosewood resonance," "walnut splines," "snow-brush fingers," and "with quilted maple" ... So tender and gorgeous, Shay.

    The ending language at the end makes me imagine the beloved has died.
