Sorrow's Well Poem by Chris Embrick

The water's deep in sorrow's well
The brine encrusted on the walls
The sadness in your eyes now tell
The pain it cost each tear to fall
When love's cut off from the source
The heart is left an empty space
The deepest wounds heal in due course
But never leave without a trace
On occasion your heart will stray
Back to the cistern of your thoughts
But unlike you did in former days
You'll not dwell long there on your loss
Day by day the well will dry
Until you have no tears to cry
The peace in your heart will tell
There's no more water in the well
You've not been to the well alone
God felt your sorrow, shared your pain
To the well added tears of his own
Until only memories of the love remain.
