The church bells toll across the meadows,
SIgnifying the time;
A succession of musical chimes that people barely notice,
As they have become accustomed to the ringing.
The village is planted near a river,
In a valley where locals have dwelt for centuries,
Eating, living, worshipping and dying,
Their descendants carrying on the name, year after year.
A village static but alive, surrounded by hills and ascending paths.
The church bells ring.

My pleasure. The poem
My pleasure. The poem actually reminds me of a couple episodes of The Twilight Zone, in which there is an escape to an idyllic place.
