Wellside waiting


Cinquecento Painting - Christ And The Samaritan Woman At The Well by Paolo Veronese

John 4: 11

(I) ..don’t have a bucket and the well is deep. 

Needs 
Weariness 
Thirst
Undredgeable certainties
A reach beyond a grasp
The figment of dreams
Clattering down a hopeful hole

We don’t have what it takes
To quench our insatiable tastes
Our greeds bore deep
Way beyond our needs
At a wellside awaiting release

Diurnal desires are
A fettered chore
A burdened bucket 
At a wellside waiting

The well is deep
It cannot slake
Our thirst or fill
Our need
Or make
Us whole

Ask
Go
Bring
Come
Drink
Forever
Worship

The bucket still stands
Empty
Wellside waiting
Still
