“On Being A Well” (MacrinaWiederkehr)
What makes this world so lovely
Is that somewhere it hides a well.
Something lovely there is about a well
So deep
Unpiped and real
Filled
With buckets and buckets
Of that life-giving drink.
Sometimes
People are like wells
Deep and real
Natural
Life-giving
Calm and cool
Refreshing.
They bring out what is best in you
They are like fountains of pure joy
They make you want to sing, or maybe dance.
They encourage you to laugh
Even, when things get rough.
And maybe that’s why
Things never stay rough
Once you’ve found a well.
When you find a well
And you will someday,
Drink deeply of the gift within.
And then maybe soon
You’ll discover
That you’ve become
What you’ve received,
And then you be a well
For others to find.
