'The Wishing Well' by William Forde: Copyright William Forde:
'To capture silence in one's pain,
to feel the loss in any gain,
to see the light in darkness far,
to touch the power that shines a star.
To smell the fear in deadly fright,
to sense one's fate in still of night,
to know the ignorance in one's brain,
to learn the sense in all insane.
To do these things and ring one's bell,
is to find the wish lost down the well.'
