The Well

Thirsting from birth I sought The Well
Legion are wells that appear in the desert
Only to be found out mirages.

An oasis beckoned but its well
Lacked water, sucking
From me the little I had.

Another appeared quickly with a
Reservoir so shallow it sustains
Only those with shallow thirst.

My thirst deepened and drinking
From the depths found only
Arid terrain, mirage-no solace.

Not seeking was I found
Not by chance Rebecca claimed me
And has my refuge forever been and shall be
She overflows with water
From unfathomable underground
Lakes filling me, slaking my thirst.
