evening bell--
even the clouds convene
at the temple

    I enjoyed these very much - once again a bow to the poets. There is something about church or temple bells that makes you stop and pay attention to the moment, especially from afar.

    Mary:

    Thanks so much ... I'm thinking that, when it comes to temple bells, the butterfly would agree:

    Thanks Don for these links - I just kept reading back, back, and further back. I liked Billy Collin's poem quite a bit - yes, meditative.
    Mary - again
