At Lady's Well

Pilgrims come

Pilgrims go

They come to worship

The water’s flow,

The cool trickle

‘pon moss so green

Up through earth

And stones between,

Its healing power

Never ceased

Strength it gives

To man and beast,

From itself

Life emerges

A miracle

Love that surges,

Moods,

Change,

Trust,

Knowing;

Emotions,

Deep,

Currents,

Flowing;

Sacred source

Ripples on lakes

Vast oceans and seas

A wave that brakes,

A violent storm

Still pond of blue

Light fluffy snow

A heavy dew,

It will spring

And swell with rain

Then returns

To earth again.

Pilgrims come

Pilgrims go

They come to worship

The water’s flow,

Nothing will stop

Nothing will quell

The healing waters

At Lady’s Well.
