Tintinnabulation
It's always there in the background
At first I thought it was weird?
It constantly whispers in the corner
And it's never just disappeared...
It's just a tiny little jingle
It jingles all day and night
Someone once told me it's the dead getting in touch...
Reminding us they still shine bright...
If I make a slight turn of my head
From either my left or my right
The tingling becomes slightly louder
As it occupies the night...
One time I got down on my knees
And proceeded to search for its source
I obviously couldn't see a single thing
But I didnt expect to of course!
Is this a supernatural experience
Or is it just all in my head?
Cant be, cos others have heard it too?
So I'll go along with the recently dead...
When my Mum died it rang very clearly
But I could silence it with a "Shoosh"
Yet soon after a few moments had passed
It'd return again without an excuse...
Now it just comes and goes as it pleases
This niggling, tingling ringing...
Perhaps its God trying to get in touch?
Or maybe it's his Angel's singing....?
