Answering The Bell

Using the intellect

to understand God

A circle unending

no light in the fog

Our mind like a hammer

to pry and to nail

Constrained by our motion

and destined to fail

But deep in our essence

that we’ve named the soul

A voice is there calling

a bell waits to toll

To ring in tomorrow

with songs of today

Proclaiming the music

—our spirit’s ordained
