Standing stoically in silence among the crowds,
A well where wishes are made
Holding the substace of glittering coins,
but empty of the power to make
The dreams and hopes of those who wish to change their lives each day
It only echos the clink of their money as they toss it carelessly away
A serene place for souls who put their trust in wells
Dropping coins, dreams are told, as their riches fall toward hell
Love may blossom at its mouth where the light of day is seen
And dreams may be answered from up there, by those that have the means
Many souls may visit and sit upon its seats
Not knowing that the well is nothing, but a hole thats very deep
Most will leave as they have come, lonely, empty, and needing to be filled
If they would only look up, instead of down, they soul would be thrilled
But when they leave their trust in wells they are resting in their sin
The well they visited and sat upon will be silent once again
great poem
very profound writing here. I really liked that you described the well in so many perspectives. Great poem!
This poem is beautiful and ever so true... I love the poems that you have made that refer to heaven and hell, love and angels, I can't wait for the next one.
