born and forgotten

the church bells ring
to awaken tired souls from their disturbed slumber.
they bring news of broken homes,
and love that survived the storms of the seven seas. 

the church bells ring
to remind me that sins once committed are never forgiven,
just as love once declared is never forgotten.
they are wise as they are loud.

let the church bells ring
and be witness to my shame
my angst, my fear, my despair,
let the church bells ring
and be witness to your joy,
your peace, your passion, your love,
let the church bells ring today.
