I love to listen to your resonant chimes...

I love to listen to your resonant chimes…

I love to listen to your resonant chimes,

Echoing, full, round,

Collecting clear musical pools,

Bright waterfalls of sound.

I love to hear your brilliant bells

Singing, mountain stream,

Flowing concourse of luminous notes

Arranged to a liquid theme.

I love to hear your hammers strike,

Ripples across a lake.

If clock is water, water is life—

Reminder I am still awake.
