Noon prayer

Resounding to prayer, calliopean proclamation on into the interior chamber,
Caste metal formed into a larger than life bells, matter on into harmonious transubstantiation,
Precisely timed concussions, premediated and dictated, cascading impacts striking voluminous tones,
Centered points of emanation, proceeding from an origin, sounding out to be heard,
Reverberating, going forth, ripples of sound penetrating, wave upon wave,
Repeating patterns, human endeavor, sender/receiver, in between silence, birds singing, secretly kissing and blessing,
Abounding emphatic during the time of Mass, sacred sacrifice, and the shadow of the Lamb,
In fields a far working noon day sowing, an Angelus breaks descends upon receiving,
Toiling the soil, ash from ash return to ash, oscitant in nature, neighbors smile to one another,
Waving and vibrating, wiping the multitude of sweat from the brow, the ringing portends surreptitious prayer and the hierarchy of the world,
Fading on into dissipation, the wavering intoning merges into nothingness, leaving no trail,
The uttering rope, a knot at the end, dangles lifeless in the lack of a wind, a moment no longer at hand,
Waiting, anticipating, the bell settles on into stillness, close in proximity, chanting for none to be heard, voices further the righteous glorification of God.
