Sun in the Well

Abe V Rotor

I dug for water
and looked to Heaven

Clouds I found none
but heard a voice instead,
“Deeper”.

So I dug and dug.
without let up,
but with no avail.

I looked up to Heaven again,
and asked, “How much deeper?”

And the voice came again.
“Until you see the sun, my son.”

I dug and dug and dug,

A spring I soon struck
reflected the sun above. ~
