Faintly... in the distant echoes of time,
Stretching far beyond the length of your lines,
Buried beneath the dusty layers climb,
And the bell sounds... an urgency of kinds...
Calling forth, the lost numbers unwritten,
Pane-staking images, hues dimmed yet all,
Combine beneath the years, once yet bitten,
Diagrammed plans, changing hearts, here the call...
Changing times post beyond the doorway now,
Documented dreams bear forth the future,
For deep within, beating it's heart lies how,
Master-crafted as the bootman's suture...
Faintly... in the distant echoes of time,
Now the bell sounds... an urgency of rhyme.

In what now seems a distant time long ago, there lied lines, plans of a new picture for me... calling, if you will, with an urgency. The bell sounded, alerting me to new beginnings... From those beginnings (of a year ago) came my adventure through blogland. Looking beyond the dusty shelves, searching the photos posted, the words translated through new creativites and familiar rhymes... the call stretched through the lines transmitting new energies, new outlets, ultimately bringing me to this point. It is with great joy that I reach my first blogoversary, renewed in my creative energies, hoping to carry my message beyond all known possibilities, as did the first telephone call placed by A. G. Bell. (What would he be thinking now of the wireless generation of communcations?)
As the bell sounds today, I send the message of a very special THANK YOU to everyone here in blogland who has taken the time to stop by and listen to my message. Thank you for all of the encouragement and guidance over the past year. It has been a fabulously exciting journey.

A lovely poem haunted by a sense of loss!
Love how it leads into a narrative, extending the poetic images into a celebration!

Beautiful poem. I understand the urgency. And happily, so many, heed its call! Congratulations on your first year!
A year...that is awesome (in the true sense of the word)...I'm not there yet, but am inspired by your presence...and your words!
"Changing times post beyond the doorway now,

Love the way you handled the prompt. Traverses time from invention to even last week!
The bells sound, and they toll; they call to us and remind us, of things to do and things that can no longer be done. Good poem.
And congratulations on your first blogoversary!
