Sipping from the Well




Sipping from the Well


Looking for a silver lining
every time it turns out wrong
Weighing reasons to believe
looking for a lost heart to behold


Seeking the golden skeleton key
that unlocks the garden’s velvet gate
Feeling a deep ache left out in the cold
on a golden autumn morn

Walk along the garden pathway
follow down the garden trail
See the reflection in the wishing well
looking wistfully back these eyes' novelle

Tripped and fell another dawning
trying to come in out the storm
The only silver lining shines the moment
sipping hopeful waters from your well ...

Understand this moment has come to just write what you feel…
don’t ever let anyone say what you feel is wrong...

Beautiful imagery and mysterious metaphor. "the only silver lining shines the moment, sipping hopeful waters from you well." Ah! ....The key to unlocking life's sweet mysteries is the love sewn in each other's soul.
