The Canadian Within

I walk alone
and across the river
is another, unknown.

Midnight is spinning away
and church bells ring in
the new hour of day,

distantly singing
in swirling mists
her voice is ringing

like the bells' gong
alone in half-light
with an ancient song.

It soon occurs to me
that a voice, my own,
calls out to a far-off She,

my otherself, Francophone,
far off in its otherplace,
calling to me alone.


Author notes

This is one of my few rhyming poems. Altho I prefer writing in free-flow, rhyming is fun to do.
