Church bells
rearrange the silence
scattering birds & sunshine
disturbing the distance.
A perfect day
in 1614.
Now today
in this
our here
& now
the bells ring out
(as they did then)
bicycles
& birds
all set in motion
as if synchronized
by their appeals
making me smile
as they chime
for my delectation
& delight
Lou Reed's
PERFECT DAY.
Cool...a hip Dutch church
joining in with the clang clang of the trams.
Time now
meaning nothing
&
everything.
I raise my glass
and toast the peals
the time
to be
I only
knowing that
I want to spend it
...with you.
