Golden Nights

This poem is a tribute to the bells that ring at every hour on the Baylor University campus at night.

Trains screaming by,

the crickets chirping.

Peaceful winds

and calm nights.

Every hour a

chime is rung.

At that moment

Green and Gold illuminates.

It shines, it strives.

It rings, it echoes.

It lives, it breaths.

It glorifies and never dies.

These Golden nights

I cherish once more

As I am home

Forever more.

I love the perspective of this - I also love how you took something mundane and made it captivating and engaging without any doubt. Well penned :)

This is pretty cool actually. I wonder what the reason is behind your campus doing that at night. But I suppose that must be part of the mystery behind it, and writers do love mystery! It's simple and creates the feeling of joy, since work :)
