gong
sarpedon The low bell tolls eleven times
Carrying its thunder throughout the village
Ringing and sustaining



And it finishes,
Leaving only the sounds of cars passing by,
And the murmur of voices
In the halways and the flats

Leading to the lights being dimmed
Then silenced, waiting for the sun
To tell its somber story in the morning

In a few hours, an aura of light
Will gently fill the room,
But not until all slumber is disturbed
When the alarm tones blare and wake
Singing and shaking awake.
