You Are In a Deep Well

You are in a deep well.
The only way out is to float to the top.
The rising water is a dream.

One climbs over the rim.
The well is a silo.
The ladder is luck.

He walks to the lake.
The only way across is a sail boat.
The wind is volition.

She lands on the island.
The road leads up a hill.
Gravity is reality.

They watch stars appear.
The only way higher is imagination.
Thinking is different.

I look down.
Something remembers.
You are in a deep well.
