Introspection

ungraceful girl

stares down revelation,

motivation,

renovation,

transformation

on a wall

brick, undecorated,

for hours

outside perspectives judge

fearfulness, safety,

common misconceptions

but she wars

with her straight-backed chair

uncomfortable in her station

not because it's safer

although they might whisper

of past adventures

that inspired this current epic

of inspecting

for long enough

that the wall becomes interesting

bricks become something new

oddly shaped pebbles strewn

with purpose and plan

amongst mortar streams

moving waves that question

who am I?

the answer is water.

I am a spring, and He is the well.
