DEATH KNELL

 The bells are ringing 'Dang, ding, ding,ding,ding, Dang'

The death knell.

the deep shadows of the church

are the death knell of summer

they are silent and creep

mysterious, hidden, ignored.

you cannot ignore the deathknell 

it harkens, it is calling,

everyone of us, as we scuttle 

through the chilly streets.

tedious daily tasks call us

forgetting everyone

that one day that same bell

will ring for us

when our work is done
