The German clouds
want to rain
but just slide by.
Then bells
from a modern steeple
emit an ancient sound,
warding off thunder
and bringing the sun
to glimmer on the river,
contained in stone walls.
The willows
still reach down
toward the common center
of our worlds,
as they always will,
but now they are green.
-Robert L. Jackson III
Here is a link to a video of the bells that inspired this:
