Deep Is The Well

I wrote this poem a couple of years ago after receiving some bad news about a very dear friend. After reading the last line you might be surprised to know that this followed a prayer. Like I told a preacher a couple of months ago...I believe in god in my own way, and I talk to god in my own way. Sometimes I pray to him, and sometimes...well, let's just say, we have words! You may not agree with that philosophy, but if you espouse to be a believer then you know that it is not really your place to judge in the first place.

Drink water out of thine own cistern, and running water out of thine own well. Proverbs 5:15

Sleep well

weep well

go to sleep

well

go to the deep

the deep well

as often as possible

bring back the water

jostling and

gleaming.

God did not plan on consciousness

developing

so well

well

tell him our

pail is full

and he can

go to Hell
