What’s in Your Well
Where do you go, storyteller?
The days are bright in your world.
Or dark.
Take us there.
Down endless flights of stairs with monsters lurking in the shadows underneath.
Or up to soaring heights filled with cumulonimbus clouds and rainbows around every corner.
Make us laugh.
Or cry.
Give us hopes.
Or dash them.
Throw stones against the barriers that separate man from God.
Hold a blanket close over our shared memories.
Don’t let us hide from the starkness of truth exposed by harsh sunlight.
Or from the shadowy world of imagination.
Illumination.
You draw from your well.
I can’t even find mine.
Hmmm… Very true and very nicely put. In fact, lovely words.

Thanks so much! I attended a literature and arts festival this past weekend and one of the authors spoke about “going to her well” of memories, stored information, when she wrote. It resonated.
