Boyhood Dreams
A wellspring of
Eternal joy
Unfolds within
A little boy
He schemes and
Dreams in
Fantasies
Things no man
Could ever be
But somewhere in
His youthful eye
The boy must know
The man will die

Wellspring to Well-being
When the wellspring failed,
thirst recast the shape of longing.
For the trust it bore had deserted us.
We then knew not. if and when, its source
would ever yield to meet our needs again.
We drank from it freely, without questioning.
Without asking, doubting why it flowed so fluently,
forever trusting that it always would.
With our thirst so easily quenched,

The Wellspring Within
Water is the essence of me.
Without water, who would I be?
My wet milieu, a sea within.
Water is life's matrix for kin.
The ocean is life's wellspring hub.
My cells are bathed in saline nub.
A bag of sea within my skin.
Water is life's matrix for kin
I live beside the sea, and swim,
To worship water with a

Winter Wellspring
winter wellspring
greyness dyes white clouds
brittle gales howl ice and pant ~
still meadows shiver
sequoia trees thirst
fog mists bathe redwood giants ~
rose petals gild snow
cold delirium
in frenzies of snowflake squalls ~
silver forests gleam
ice castles glitter
with gems of furious fire ~
fields of frost bouquets
twilight

Wellspring of Fortitude
I am here for a purpose, and I need to fulfill it.
I felt the echo of footsteps in my spirit.
Rhythmic rigor with a sense of fairness,
God utters, "I am your force and all awareness."
What makes our little earth run?
Is it tied to an inner bond with the sun?
Fastidious warmth pervades the space.
Some people adore the

Remember Your Wellspring
Do I have to remember that life has a set flow?
Our days might be dreadful, yet, joy utterly slow.
Miracles arose typically through the cloudiness.
I'm busy exploring and hoping for days to pass.
The lack of sufficient treat hampers our friendship.
We'll be frying outside during the scorching heat.
Things that can be seen clearly are

Wellspring
A wellspring deep within,
a vital force creative,
is quelled to dry spells
by diversions, doubts
and distractions.
Like a pump needs priming
to flow again,
a wellspring needs prompting
and dry-runs
to get it brimming again.
Keep drawing on your wellspring
every single day,
imbibing its nectar lovingly,
and it will never run dry.

The Wellspring of Life
Almighty God is all knowing,
For He is omniscient;
He knows very well
Each and every heart's content.
Never can individual's intention
From Him be hidden;
Nor can He be deceived,
Nor anything is secret to Him.
It influences man's motives,
So we must guard our hearts;
Purify all of its corners,
For He knows all about us.
Yes, it

Wellspring
Flowing from the heart
mindless of the brain
bubbling up with joy
as water from a spring
Feelings, strong and telling
when push comes to shove
this thing within, welling
performs as puppy love

Wellspring
You are all together desirable
and so my soul longs for you
hold me close don't let me go
I need to know your love is true
I had not thought possible
this kind of love to know
the kind that people dream of
of our origins ages ago
More beauty than hanging gardens
or the wonders of seven worlds
nor crafting

The Wellspring
I have a source, still:
a singular supply, once hidden to me
-- not lost, but unremarked;
yet as I grew in skin and mind
one day I found its secret space.
When I was young the well
was always in a dark country
where only I could pass,
and then as tourist only;
and as I advanced in bone and soul
the thunderheads of

The Wellspring
My
thoughts - as
words - sputter
as they’re eked out
from my wellspring of imagination.
Phrases become rhymed and metered lines that
start gushing as
I pump them
into
poems.
