Touching something deeper
returning here often
a physical presence
the talisman of this vista
a well, a spring flowing
calling us to stop, to look,
to drink more deeply
to pause and marvel
at the creation of God.
Going there, stopping,
gathering the image
capturing a piece of eternity
dipping of the well
drinking of the cup
the talisman of this vista
feeding my soul, my spirit,
a place of rich meaning
in my hometown.
