The Well At Wondermore

With silver moss attached to cooling stone
obliquely set beyond the garden path
a dizzy spiral caught me there alone

In echoes my reflection darkly laughed
and drank the stagnant water with a grin
a gaze to the above on my behalf

while I looked down to depths I found within
composed and yet unraveling to see
a wish I cast two years ago and ten

held in my hand's reflection gingerly
for I had never truly let it go
and, truth be told, it still was holding me.
