The Church Bells

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.
