    Bells

    The Bell chimes
    I listen closely
    How many times?
    Twelve, has struck midnight

    I look at my date
    I look at my dress
    I look up to tell him I'm late
    But words form on his lips, barely heard

    He says, "I know,
    I know who you are, I know your tale,
    I know you'll be back though you must go,
    And I hope you know, I'll be waiting."

    I run down the steps
    I looks down on myself
    To see what's left
    Of the beauty

    But I find it gone,
    Beauty no more
    Sabby clothes on
    I am no longer His Belle

    But still I wait here
    For his return
    With hope so unclear
    I barely know I hope at all

    Til one day I hear the Bells
    Hear them calling
    wondering what it tells
    To find him at my door

    At my door with no glass shoe
    Not holding it up, but smiling at me
    Not telling how much time had passed
    But telling he was there, waiting

    He opened his mouth to speak
    But I stopped him before he could
    I put one hand on his cheek
    And the other over his lips

    I said, "I know,
    I know who you are, I know your tale,
    I know you came back, though I had to go,
    And I know that you were waiting."

    So he opened his arms
    And he gave me a hug
    And we laid there, his alms
    Were that I was His Belle once more.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
