A fountain.

Flowing, healing, nourishing water,

Water of life

Glistening pearls of ancient wisdom

Sweet little tears

Sad little smiles

Bearing the scent of a time long lost

Of something pure

Of love

A fountain.

 

For the river that so long ago

Watered the young buds of Eden

Is now quiet,

Well concealed,

But down beneath

It´s still alive!

 

Far beneath many cages

Of earth sick and moaning

Soaked through with blood.

Beneath concrete cages

Beneath all the walls

Beneath the ruins of worlds

It´s there with pulsating passion

To redeem,

To revive.

 

My fountain.

 

 

To Ruth.
