North Carolina Belle Poem by Wayne Sowell

North Carolina Belle



For whom the Belle tolls
Let her toll for me.

No man is an island
But surely
I am only
Surrounded by her.

Let my peninsula
Crowd into her inlet.

Shannon,
Shannon.

Only of her
I write these things
And speak only of myself
As being a part of her.

Let the shortest time
Be the moments of our separation.

And let our coming together
Be forevermore...
Wedded in the Spring, and married for all seasons.
