Notes about Johannes Bernardus (Ben) Willemsen

Mij hoeft geen klokgelui te begeleiden,

Geen orgel-treurmuziek, geen lof noch lied;


'k Zou graag in stilte uit dit leven scheiden,


Daar passen kille klokke-klanken niet.



'k Heb uitvaartteksten nooit kunnen waarderen,


De verzen klonken mij te onoprecht,


Op zielsverdriet is woordloos reageren


Vaak beter dan een vals gedicht gezegd.



'n Kerkgebouw waar de registers zwijgen


Geen zanger in het koor zijn stem verheft,


Daar kan een stil gebed ten hemel stijgen


Dat elk geluid in daadkracht overtreft.
