and

did you do what was asked
when the bell rang
again
on this cold winter morning?

or was the sound asking too much of you
as a dream world tore through
bursting lands of facts
out of your minds eye?

did you remember to care for your lovers dear heart
on hearing the sounds of anothers call
deafen and beat your drums
tune?

or did you wish as you slept again
drifting away
for peace, love,
tranquility?
