I walked out of the boneyard, my mourning bell on a stick across my shoulder.
It rang dully with each step through the tall dark weeds, for it was summer.
I did not go home, there was no reason to now; I walked on, through the seasons,
rain and sun and snow. I shuffled on, ringing my bell like a salesman with goods to sell.
All that I had was sorrow to share, and I bless those who did share it.
The weight would have been too much to bear alone, and I would surely have followed
Those That Have Gone to wherever the dead go if not for these friends. Thanks to you, my bell
stands in a corner now. Not out of sight or out of mind, but without need of being carried
and rung so often.

Like I said keep swinging
Singing through the wings
Even if they are ravens

I understand some bells lurk all the time for some folks, but I'm sure as hell am happy yours sits in a corner now.

I'll try to help you keep it there (probably laughs are found in "poetry by a prose writer" in my gallery).

Otherwise, I'm not doing enough for you.

Or my own bell.

We'll work on this shit together, one way or another, and apparently many have helped you already. Kudos to them (and to you)!
