The Well of Grief - David Whyte

[Larry Robinson]

The Well of Grief

Those who will not 
slip beneath the still surface
on the well of grief, 
turning down through its black water 
to the place where we cannot breathe 
will never know the source 
from which we drink the secret water, 
cold and pure, 
nor find in the darkness, glimmering, 
the small round coins thrown by those 
who wished for something else.
