The Lady of the Well

The lady of the well digs

deep

plummets

to the core

of Earth

where molten flows

are red hot. She sends

its upward thrust

to create the

mists of heaven

on Earth.

Few can transmute

the powerful elements

within the core of the

Earth.

I can.

Precious steam

that pours from

volcanoes is a shield

that brings up a layer

when molten rock

mets air. Steamy mist

is the layer of quiet

understanding that

allows all elements

to be whole and

unique as elements

are.

So many are burned

by misunderstanding

of this. This belch,

full of fullness, is

reponse to wrong.

Only brave hearts can

walk through the mist

and clear it, so

pathways to the

human element

do appear.

I am one.

I am the lady

of the well.
