The Bell Tolling…
written by: Jeff Flesch
@FleschJeff
there’s blood running in the streets, like a river of fire,
as we continue to desire, destruction at our
feet, and underneath
we
sink
into other
realms of reality
where
we
bespeak the rise and fall of portended notions, as
preoccupations of mind define, and
our hearts
are
left
in the
rear
the present
moment
behind
transfixed on stories of glory, while we all watch the
fascination with the bell
tolling
in an eager
flurry
of
egoic pride
it
can
be quite
gory
and, yet, we can choose another way, when we dive
deep inside, and
quarry
retrieving
those
gems
of love,
and light
providing us all much needed solace and freedom
from an eternity of fright…
