How deep is the wisdom of the well?
Desperate wishes in the shape of coins
fragments of hopes that were belied
disappointed souls separated from cases
pesticide remnants floating without bases
It is a mirage to birds on the edge.
Frogs croak, a woman drawing water sighs and heaves
Life pops up in seemingly rootless leaves
The well wishes it was a pond, river or sea
How frustrating can a limited life be!
An overrated myth, or just water with a ledge?
How deep is the wisdom of the well?
