Beaten, Buried, Becoming

Published on 6 April 2023 at 15:05

Desert Bells are rather unique, and have a unique way of being created. They go through a process of being beaten and buried and become something beautiful and has a melodic sound. The bells have a rough texture on the outside, with dents all over from being hammered. Even with all of the dents and everything that might seem "wrong" with them, they have a very peaceful sound. Similar to the bells, we go through different trials in life. We are beaten and  buried in the different tribulations that come upon us, and we can come out of them and become something beautiful and unique. Personally, I feel throughout my life that I have been poked and prodded and hammered, but I have been able to become something out of all that I have gone through.

BEATEN, BURIED, BECOMING

 

If I were a bell

If I had been beaten

Beaten and shaped

From a block of metal

From something so bland

From something unwanted

 

If I were a bell

If I had been buried

Buried down below

Deep under the ground

Waiting to be dug up

Waiting for a chance to shine

 

If I were a bell

What would I be becoming?

Becoming something unique

Becoming something beautiful

Becoming something one of a kind

Become something strong
