The Well

There is a well near Galilee
Where I went in the dawn,
To fill my water jugs and then
I somehow lingered on.
I saw a horde of people come
And there I met The Lord,
Who radiated love and hope
And captured with his Word.
I listened to the things He said
And longed to understand.
I wanted so to touch His robe.
The cloth ran through my hand.
Enlightment burst suddenly.
I knew what I must do.
I left my jugs beside the well
And followed after too.
How long we traveled, I can't say.
I was part of a sea
Of totally entranced and rapt
Worshiping humanity
And from His Holy Well, I drew
Great values I could hold,
To see me onward with my life,
Until I reach His Fold!

Trillium,

Not that I believe in reincarnation, but Bible stories as well as your poem has a way of bringing me in the spirit right there to where Jesus is alive.  I felt as if I almost took on the body of that wonderful personification at the well and got some first hand glimpses of Jesus.  Excellent story telling.  -Bob
