at the well

it's easy to discard
the lonely, the noisy,
the tired and weak
souls that are on the
fringe of your life,
or perhaps right in
the middle. it's easy
to run and hide from
the chaos that others
can bring and spoil
your day, your night,
your sleep, but compassion
and understanding is
necessary if you truly
want to walk that walk.
distance and shutting
them out, turning your
back to the broken
does nothing to make
this world a better
place. it's painful,
it's a struggle at times.
but there is always
someone at that well
going to get water and
some days it could be you.
