The Well
There is a well
deep in the heart
of the green world.
It is a long way
from here, or just
around the bend.
No one knows
the way there.
You can ask.
Not a soul can say,
only yours.
If you go,
when you go,
be sure to bring
an offering.
Only taking would be
an offense.
Only giving would be
a lie.
When the longing
for those waters
grows strong enough
in you, you must go.
You may wonder
if the yearning is due to
your being summoned,
or if it is yours alone.
In truth,
it does not matter.
The well in the woods
waits patiently.
Just go.
