Sunday Scribblings: Marathon and A to Z: Time

The letter T for the Blogging from A to Z Challenge.
                                and
This week's Sunday Scribblings prompt is marathon.

T is for Time

Bells

ring for bliss.

Merry bells
in fortune tells.
Rushing,

flowing

in a sound of bells.

Ringing, 

swiftly
killing cells.

Testing and tiring,
lasting bells.

In what scale is time
told?
Standing still.

A day and date 

in tide and spell.

It sells and smells

whatever it tells. 

For millions,

a moment.
Rushing
and
flowing
in a sound of bells.
What is last and first,
the answer,
only time will tell.
Allowing
enduring,
lasting bells.
