When the Bells Are All Broken

When The Bells Are All Broken


When the bells are all broken
 no ringing can one hear
Soft words are never spoken
 loneliness the great fear
Dark shadows enter this mind
 blues dance a little jig
This 'ole world seems so unkind
 lonely and so damn big
A memory invades the desolation
 emotions give way to tears
Such is indeed small consolation
 for deep pains and big fears
More thoughts edge their way in
 time eats its daily plate
Remember her,my one true friend
 my lost lover and soul-mate

Robert J. Lindley, Sept. 1975
