Wishing

I dropped a penny into the well
In with it, my prayers fell
deep in the water, to the end
my hopes and dreams, I did send.

Pray to the fairy, of the wishing well
will they be granted. I sit and Dwell
Close your eyes, Drop the coin
to a place where, Whys & because's adjoin

Is there a place, one that exists
or did I drop a coin, into an abyss
what happens to the thoughts, out in the air
is there a gatherer, whom pulls them into a lair

A lair with answers. waiting for questions to match
with every morning, comes a new batch
there must be several employees, working this task
it would take 700 just for the questions I ask

Perhaps they are angels proving their worth
performing good deeds, atoning things done on earth
paying a penance, for all their crimes
matching the answers, and doing their time
