SORRY,

I’VE ONLY GOT THIS

The Well

By an old drinking well

On the grass so green

I lay down and fell into a dream

By a strange mellow sound

From a silver eyed bird

I opened me eyes but said no word

On the pathway came walking

A woman so bold

Behind her in silence went the old

Ahead ran the children

With joyful cries

Their faces were lifted to the skies

The woman's hair was raven

And black as the night

Covered with stars shining bright

As they passed by the well

I saw that their eyes

Were flaming like many coloured ice

They passed by the well

Like a breeze pure and clean

Soon they were nowhere to be seen

When I woke up alone

On the grass so green

I looked into the well to catch the dream

The water was rising

And I felt a chill

I willed the water to be still

There was a face in the mirror

And the face wasn't mine

The eyes held a shimmering shine

There was a face in the mirror

Like a face out of time

The eyes held a shimmering shine
