The Well
THE WELL
It is full of water, come close
And draw from it whatsoever you want
Full of peace, that voices louder than words
Open it for yourself and receive it
Move it around, it will never get worn-out of filling itself
To replace what has been used to clean up the dull room
The source of it has never been known even to the holder
To him comes the joy of enquiring more and more
Every day the preparation for the visit continues
Taking place inside the agency of the well
Everything is made smooth
As I raise my eye, I saw the moving water clearing the way
At all times, you need a bucket to draw
The amount you may need for internal use
Be patient than to rash yourself
So that you may not fall in the well full of water to stain it
Old structure outside, but inside still new
You just need to enter, for you to understand
What am talking about, you may not believe it?
Stretch out your hands and touch it, still here
