Conversations by a Well




Time for a rondelle, a French poetic form, for today's poem.

Conversations by a Well

Drink your fill of the water of life
As your tears fall, in sorrow weep
You have no pail; the well is deep
Grief cuts deep, like a knife

A world of pain, a world of strife
Time to awaken from your sleep
Drink your fill of the water of life
As your tears fall, in sorrow weep

Past wrongs cut deep like a knife
What we sow, so shall we reap
A road so rugged, and so steep
Time for an ending of your strife
Drink your fill of the water of life
