The drowning well.

The drowning well.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

     The drowning well.
      When the tracks
      of her tears ran
        blue thoughts;
 a river of less resistance,
           collected.
     so did, darkness seep
         under the door
           engulfing all;
              her mind
            in blackness,
       leaving the window 
     of opportunity closed.
 There was no crawling out
     being no wishing well
          she was left.....
     in the drowning well.

This is beautiful, Andrew! Sometimes you just have to let go and let nature have it's way and let that be your strength...in knowing :) Becoming a well can be a reservoir of understanding

Sad, lightly painful but even though your words read rather negative, they maintain a certain feel of relief to my mind. Release the darkness and drown in it as a relief of one's agony in a way.
