Today at noon Angelus bells

Sounds I remember well

Where work took time to contemplate

Clear my mind, concentrate.

Life is now so complicated

Religions appear to be outdated

It seems to me that we have lost.

Rolled the dice, count the cost.

Now it’s called mindfulness

Taking time to stop, distress.

While the answer lies simply there

A moment spent in silent prayer.
