The Voice In The Well

I'll take a goddamn holiday.Goa,Shimla,Chicago who knows. One verse away. this was it. It was the grand finale. There had to be a catch. Who was the specter?

Again I heard a whisper "It's in the well, In the well" What madness was this? I again peered into the well. The water now looked stagnated. The stagnation of centuries. The depths of darkness. I again heard the bangles. Suddenly a light appeared from below the well.It was not the moon because it was a moonless night.

A beautiful light. The method in the madness. The answer to the riddle. I stood there hypnotized. In the distance I heard the approaching footfalls that went in tandem with the bangles. She was here! The last verse! The last verse! The steps had almost reached me. But I dared not turn around. I stood hypnotized by the light. On the edge of the well. Between two worlds. I wanted to know what the light was but how could I go there. Would I ascend the depths of hell for the sake of words? As if to answer mw I felt her hands on my shoulders and she gave me a gentle push. "Below the surface, safe in the womb I lie" "I finally have my questions answered, for that I had to die" "A loyal servant now to the young mistress" "Come lie with us and you shall be blessed"
