The Endless Well

--- The Endless Well 08.05.2014 00:38

What will it take to fill,
This deep-seated space?
When love and other drugs,
Have fallen from grace.

Is it long talks,
Understanding, being there, sensitivity?
When all I ever put in,
Is drawn farther away by gravity.

When the expectations are limitless,
But the resources succinct.
Even if I trade my soul,
There will remain a deficit.

Superhuman powers are needed,
To germinate a healing breeze.
Fill this endless abyss,
And save the day single-handedly.

Another, more coherent positive version by my good friend Kapil Joshi.

The Endless Well

What will it take to fill,
This deep-seated space?
When love and other drugs,
Have fallen from grace.

Is it long talks,
Understanding, being there, sensitivity?
When all I ever put in,
Is drawn farther away by gravity.

World doesn't allow us,
To satiate our deepest desires,
The Meaning of life is hazy,
That is why in my heart and yours, there are burning fires.

It is in my mind,
and it exists in yours,
An endless well that devours everything we do,
Like black holes amongst the stars.

We dont know we dont care,
About the relationship between You and I,
When our souls say to each other,
That we dropped together from the same heavenly sky.

So I wonder why is there
This endless well
Which makes me feel so lost
Where I am I can't even tell

But, In my every moment,
there is hope and desperation,
All my life asks from me,
Is the sweet realization.

That our thirst will be quenched,
And ringing will be many a sweet bell,
Life will sparkle,
And shine a bright light, in this endless well.
