Chime For Me – Monday 4th June 2012

Chime for Me

chime for me
broken bell
of sunken dreams
you tell of your toll
or so it seems
somewhere else
where the sky is heavy
and my tears
do not break every levy
run for me
emancipated freedom
who has held my frame
in this season of rain
we are angry
but who can we blame
the drip drip of time
remains blind
to the fortress troops –
holding my mind
chime for me
just one more time
listen to the verse
that has tumbled –
out of my head
the pillow is soft
but it is chaos for the easily lead
